I do lo...Gee, thanks Seamus - awfully kind of you. I do love kittens and puppies. And my shyness has held me back. But in future I will try harder. But this poetry world is so full of nasty begrudgers that use the net to lash out at strangers, so no wonder I remain so studiously neutral, and modest. What do you do, may I ask, to avoid complacent cynics?EYEWEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900801847916951522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-32038563631232403522010-07-06T16:46:44.800+01:002010-07-06T16:46:44.800+01:00You forgot to include yourself Todd. You've do...You forgot to include yourself Todd. You've done so much for yourself and poetry in the last five years. You broght a voice to thwe anti-war sentiment, you ran and continue to run a series of fantastic readings and mentor young and old poets alike. You gave a voice to the disposessed when they needed one and puppies and kittens are naturally drawn to your incredibly warm and loving mind, always willing to do a person a favor, and the world needs to know about this Swift. Stop hiding your light under a bushel. You're too shy and never put yourself forward.<br /><br />SeamusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
