TashPoetryApparently, I have 468 followers.
At least 460 who have taken a vow of silence.
Owen G. Richards - ANTIFAscistIt is entirely possible they follow you for your poetry (it is a powerful draw) and feel they have little to add... but me? Sometimes I can't keep quiet! 😜
@Owen_G_Richards There is, I think, ample to add. I feel as though I have been a little too reductionist of late.
Thank you, as always, for your support.
Aroha nui,

There being ample to add is not the same as being able to articulate whatever it is that you might want to say.
You'll notice I don't always comment, and that is when either my own abilities seem inadequate, or my sensitivities prevent me from saying anything without a great deal of consideration.
Some poetry comes from artistry.
Some from the heart - whether enamoured or broken.
Some comes from the depths of a soul tormented by past experiences.
Not everyone gets it.
@Owen_G_Richards I always say I open my brain and something falls out. Most of the time.
Something falls out? Or is it pushed out...?
"Better out than in" is sometimes very appropriate in relation to our thoughts/memories/life experiences, and even though "venting our spleens" has very little effect on past events, it does let a little steam out and reduces the internal pressures (occasionally).
@Owen_G_Richards Perhaps 'crawls out' might work better, Owen.
Yeah. That I can visualise...
