that's me, bennie
day late and a dollar short

I just thought your piece needed a headline
it bears repeating
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

thank you, mr rod.

i'll take all the publicity i can get.

we had a conversation in work today about genius with self belief and genius with no self belief. the latter often will sink without trace. but we talked of people who have self belief and wrongly believe themselves to be a genius. there's an old scots poet who's famous for being "the world's worst" poet. william topaz mcgonagal. read some of these: http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/poems/gems.htm

but he beleived he was an important seer. ha.

I don't know why i brought that up. self doubt i think. it's good to get other's to publicise you. i hope i don't end up like emily dickenson. she sucked anyway! I'm a better poet than her.
