We're back to argument which was raging recently in another thread - do you, the writer have to dot all the i's and cross all the t's - to ensure that your words are crystal clear to everyone? I would say not - especially since you will have readers like me who don't know what a taxi dancer is.
My poetry is marred by my inability to let something go unsaid, or let something be ambiguous. My appreciation of poetry is marred by that same fault....always I want to know what the poet means - and often pass a good piece of creative verse by because I don't 'get' its meaning. I am learning, though, and I am finding that the lively discussions on pigpen are opening my mind tremendously.
