Simplicity in Poetry

[Leanne]

I'm grateful that you have enjoyed a poem, but my point is more or less that if you didn't, I wouldn't stop. That's not because I don't consider the audience important, it's that I'm comfortable enough with poetry to know that my audience is quite limited and nobody is going to respond in the same way to everything I write. Rather, I write for the pure joy of constructing something I'm reasonably not shite at.
