foxinsox,
Please don't be upset by that response. Poetry is such a personal thing - sometimes others can understand it and sometimes not. What people tend to forget is that those words were written during a very intimate time that you were quietly contemplating some very powerful thoughts inside your brain and your heart.
I'm reading a book called "Writing Down the Bones" now that was given to me by a most beautiful and wonderful friend. In this book there is a sentiment and it says so much.....I'm going to share it with you now if that is okay. This little but most valuable book as helped me to see inside myself, and it has opened my mind to so many new and interesting ideas.
"It is important to remember we are not the poem. People will react however they want; and if you write poetry, get used to no reaction at all. But that's okay. The power is always in the act of writing. Come back to that again and again and again. "
Smile and don't stop writing.
