Wow!

Really envy the ability to write in vernacular, not just write in it, write good poetry in it! If this is just an exercise, or not about someone who was such a friend, please don't ever tell me or I may just hate you. cheers, Jess

Why

would you hate me? I thought the whole point of writing was to. . write. I don't believe the saying about write what you know. Thats just plain silly. I am sure Stephen King did not know TommyKnockers personally. And I am quiet confident that there is no such thing as a Langalier. Truthfully? I write the first line with no idea what is coming after that. I stare at the line and go one verse at a time. You are to good a writer not be able to write ANYTHING, even that you have not experienced. Thank you for the great review Jess. Even if you don't like to admit it, you DO have a heart in that chest.

Because I don't want to suspend my disbelief

Of course I acknowledge that we create and that is why I never, ever, read biographies of my favourite artists. I don't want to see the strings on superman. So what I said was a kind of backhanded compliment. I believed it so much I don't want to know the process. Oh, and yes, I am well aware of this heart pounding away in here, it leads me more than my eyes and ears, may not seem that way sometimes because I kind of mentalise my language sometimes. My heart lead me to poetry. Not to brag but with my high school scores I could have done law, medicine, well anything. My heart rules. cheers, Jess

What?!

Jess has a heart? Why, he never told me. Not ever. At least not yet. Although I think he has hinted at it, or at least I've spotted what I thought were implications of such a reality. Laughing in fun, Chuckles
