I try not to put what is and<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t true in my author&#8217;s notes for a couple of reasons, firstly because they<br \/>\nare just as much my writing as anything else I put on AP. As an example my<br \/>\npoems about &#8220;Bindy Bandy&#8221; and &#8220;Umbleania&#8221; all contain detailed descriptions of<br \/>\nhow to get there. And secondly because I don&#8217;t really think it matters, or at<br \/>\nleast it shouldn&#8217;t. There are a few people though who seem to be hurt or<br \/>\noffended by what I write, because I say &#8220;I&#8221; or &#8220;You&#8221; in the poetry. Please guys<br \/>\nremember, it is just poetry! My usual reason for writing anything is because<br \/>\nthe words formed in my head and I liked the way they sounded. When I write<br \/>\npersonal poetry it usually be in the personal category or I will send it to the<br \/>\nperson concerned. If I write political or ranting pieces I leave it to others<br \/>\nto decide if I mean them<\/p>\n<p>Rant over, get back to what you were doing &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[Posts%20by%20cricketjeff%201_files\/grin.gif]<\/p>\n<p>Jeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Concept of Fiction by cricketjeff on March 20, 2011.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved I like to write poetry, well doggerel maybe, on a wide variety of subjects.
