revelations

Its what happens when one puts pen to paper. (or fingers to keypad)

Every poem tells a story…
To the reader
And of the poet
It’s revelatory,
this little story…
Yet both reader and poet
Seldom know it!

Author's Note

I'm Irish. I can't help it!

I hope the reader and the poet both know it...else what's the point...?

[David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)]

I appreciated your comment Marie as always ( it wasn't a review per se.) You missed the point of my poem,: which was, what the poem reveals about the poet, not the poem in it self. Thanks again Marie, if not for you I'd never get a review.

I read the poem again, and still don't quite get it. Of course, I don't always know what I've written till someone reads it and tells me.

David, I don't know whyyou don't get reviews. I think it's simply that people on W/C don't want to read and comment on other people's work. They want to be read. I am going to stop posting work myelf, because I';m not getting any feedback at all. But I will still read and comment on other people'swriting. So you can be sure of at least one reader.
