I've not got the time for long and windy verbosity.
You tell me something, I ponder on it and think 'That makes a deal of sense' I bump into Mr. Jones and mention what you've said, he takes a completely different tack and in five minutes he's convinced me of the veracity of his argument and I think 'That makes a deal of sense' and so it goes on.
I like to think I keep an open mind, but I suspect that I'm a simple soul who likes to agree with everyone and who is a waverer by upbringing and nature.
My poetry communicates because that is why I write it. I want to tell you something, or show you how I feel BUT in doing so I'm sure the reader thinks 'So, who cares, who wants to know?' Intrique would add something to the finished verse....and make the reader do something rather than be a passive participant. That's where I fail.
