It's been almost TWO YEARS since I posted a poem. I was very excited that I found some inspiration in a beloved area that has been dry for me for a very long time. It would be nice if you guys could maybe read what I actually wrote and maybe have something to say about it instead of getting stuck on the title.

I happen to like the title, as some of the ideas for this piece have been floating in my head for a long time now and finally coalesced.

Putting yourself out there can be tough. Yes, I got good responses as well, but I'd rather have less good responses than have it completely derail into talk about "hey, that's the same title as something else". Hell, I'd rather have an interesting discussion with people that take issue with the ideas I present.

Perhaps it's not completely obvious to others, but what I wrote means something to me, it's not just something frivolous. It's not a link to some other blog or video. It's a part of me I wanted others to see. I love discussion about topics that art kicks up. This is not that.

Sorry, but this is really frustrating to me. The Open Mic hasn't exactly been jumping as of late, and it might be because of this kind of thing.
