Hi cidermaid,
Hi Todd,
I think in a way you have atually clarified what my post was intended to be about. I did mention at the end that I thought perhaps my phrasing was off somewhat. Perhaps the use of the words passion and emotion was not such a good choice. ( I obviously should have used personal symbols to be the right word / key in this post)
On a different note, I'm begining to feel more than somewhat wrong footed in all of my recent activity and in particular your reply has caused me to feel that I have commited some sort of crime of poor form, that means I need to be put in my place.
Either way, I def don't seam to be able to speak the right lingo and now I'm getting a little hesitant about opening up again. I am genuinly intreasted in developing my writing skills and this thread was something that had occured to me as relevant to how I should approach a re-work, or indeed a new piece. However, there was also the element that I was just trying to be jolly and join in with as much as possible. (Newbe feaver, i'm stumbling around all over the site having a go at everything). But somewhere along the way it has developed into an entirly new beast that i'm not sure I'm ready to deal with. (As mentioned on the original post, it represented such a crap and difficult, personal .... and still ongoing, time of life), I supose i share some of Rose love's sentiments...I joined the forum to have something jolly in an otherwise, never-ending desert of crapness.
On reflection, i think my original choice of where to post my poem was about right for where I am at in my poetic skill base and as I said above i'm currently feeling wrong footed and that i'm in the wrong place.
My appoligies if I have miss judged you or your words in this..this is a bit of a knee jerk reaction perhaps....Billy mentioned developing thick skin in one of his posts as one of the fruits of belonging to this site...I wonder how long this will take.
so if the intention was to crush me and convince me that i'm not worthy - rest assured on a job well done...if on the other hand I'm an emotionally disturbed silly moo...please feel free to give me a slap and tell me to get over it!
Oh and I really did appreciate the time and trouble you took with the critique...you were right...damm it!!
