My answer to a young poet who wants to get his 600 poems published

Poetry writing is not for publishing

poetry writing is like breathing

you must breathe

or you die

So breathe on

and write on

why care if anybody reads them

having a place to put your poems on

is already a blessing

My poems are little noises I made when my balance is upset

and my effort to regain it.

And i want Nobody catch me off balance except

some very accepting friends

and some very innocent children
