If you look closely, the revelations show regret and self-disappointment. How could that be construed as hurtful to anyone else. [/color] I know that your poem was conciliatory Iago, I said as much. It's in the interpretation that the problem surely lies. That and the failure to predict that distress may be caused.

Artistic expression should not be limited by the myriad of interpretations that are assigned by the reader. My motives were good.

More shoe imagery. :
To walk in your shoes would show me the way to how you perceive the words that I say But with bunions and foot-fat bulging inside your shoes just don't fit my elegant stride. ;D

So, I think everybody is fine for now. But I am still disappointed. I was pleased with what I wrote. It was sincere and confessional. Now that I have had to explain it, it feels insulting. I guess I had it coming. I may have upset some folks by wanting to stay in character and role play. I can distinguish these roles as an actor would. Apparently, either some people can't or won't - or worse not trust that I am able to. But psychology, poetry, literature art and architecture are passions of mine. I try to incorporate these interests into my posts. I like to play and be provocative. Having a foil or an inspiration has been a part of the pattern. Has this worn thin, or does explaining the long runng prank help mollify the raw feelings? Because I prefer an edge to run-of-the mill stuff. I hope you guys will hang around, 'cos I don't really want to change who I am.

I hope you guys will hang around, 'cos I don't really want to change who I am. Al I Mony, As a participant on this forum, I am like any consumer. If I don't like the product on offer then I can walk away, or lobby the manufacturer for a change. I can even stick with this particular market and just moan occasionally. It should be obvious by now what I usually do. The point is that no-one HAS to change who they are- not you, not dear old Sven, not me and not even Neo. I actually don't mind a little edge as long as it's tempered. I wouldn't dream of asking anyone to do so or to leave because I occasionally disapprove of a post or two. That you so enjoy the edge rather than the safe and the predictable is fine. But he who lives by the sword etc etc and you surely wouldn't complain if you sometimes cut yourself - now would you? The value of your work/poetry will stand or fall on it's merits. If it's good (and I've never seen it bad) it will certainly outlive any controversy that it may have once caused. I hope that you do not continue to feel insulted because you found it necessary to explain your intentions in this one. Post in whatever guise you feel most comfortable at the time. Perhaps it is to be regretted that there isn't someone else here that can act as the foil you sometimes need..

See her face shine in the moonlight Soft as silk and white as cream, Silently I watch her slumber--gently kiss her cheek, Then I lay my weary head beside hers--close my eyes and dream. In the morning she'll awake-- Cast off the night and shine like summer, As she dances all about me she sparkles like a stream, Her hair is full of meadowsweet--she's wrapped in leafy green. On bended knee before you with tears in my eyes, I pledge that till my dying day my sword is on your side-- Forever on your side. And I love you more than life-- I swear that you mean everything to me, Everything I'd sacrifice-- If my lady you would favour me. Far brighter than the stars your smile, You hold the richest sunset in those eyes, Fear not lady I'll defend you, In your cause lay down my life. Of all the things worth dying for-- None sweeter have I seen, Than the rose that is my sweet, In her cloak of leafy green.

I actually don't mind a little edge as long as it's tempered......surely wouldn't complain if you sometimes cut yourself - now would you? Agreed....and good points!It's really strange that I am MUCH more creative as Iago. I guess the guise of people not knowing it's me (or the illusion I trick myself in to) saying the words makes me bolder and less inhibited. Some of his recent work makes me jealous for his attention though.
Maybe I'll think of a less malevolent edge to explore. I'll try a few new spices from the rack.
