Poem Erasure....
I've taken down the poem Not For The Faint Of Heart, as there was a huge misunderstanding.... though I thought I had made it quite clear that the write was not directed towards who I was writing about, rather I was trying to capture his essence and being within the write. I respect Jonathan greatly, and have no shame in admitting that his outspokenness and personality are something I admire greatly. It was supposed to read as if he were the one talking - not an attack against him as another reader had thought it was - and thus greatly chewed my ass about.
I figured if there was one misunderstanding, there was a potential for others - and rather than explaining my intent, I felt it was just easier to remove the post.
I do thank another reader who had understood what I was talking about, and feel a great sense of relief that someone had got it.
In the future, I shall make it very clear how my writing should be interpreted (though I thought I was successful on this) even to go so far as to write a sort of prelude if necessary.
A humble thankyou.
Blessings,
Jess
