This piece is to my mind poetry of the heart at its best, fine and delicate as a bee’s wing. I have long despaired of the truth that what ever the world wants to sell they must use ‘sex’ in order to do so, the more graphic and tasteless the greater the consumption. For an experiment I post a piece elsewhere under the ‘erotic’ category option even though it was nothing much and guess what …… more reads than for anything I had previously posted there, of course its content would not fulfil the expectations of it’s ‘readership’ and so comment and like were minimal. Am I so adrift of the world here? What is your view of these things?
No friend you are not alone in this, I too share your same views. What is true poetry if not the gentle turning of words to create an artistic piece literature? Anything else would something different. If you would, please read this piece for it was written for the exact reason we are discussing: http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/38051-erotic-poetry-vs-written-pornography/ I like you, I see the extraordinary amounts of reads and few comments on my pieces if they are in the erotic category although I never write rude, graphic or vulgarly. I refuse to fall into the trap that in order to gain exposure or sell my product there has to be sex, I will be poor forever then but, true to myself. lolol ReplyDelete

A very worthy piece you wrote with which I happily agree for a rash of expletives does nature no justice
