Dear Poet(s) of Tomorrow
by David Russo
You have caused me considerable anguish, as your words lack consequence and it would appear a number of you have made it a fashion to generously make romance with enigma. Consider the reader for a moment. Consider that you've rather quickly thrust him from the Pacific to the chills of the Adirondacks; you'd do him more of a favor to kill him, than place upon him the burden of such an abrupt change in travel plans.
Do keep these things in mind.
My Best,
David

Author's Note
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like poetry has become so insular, and self-centered the reader has no place for poetry anymore.

I enjoyed this a lot and read it a few times. Especially liked "make romance with enigma". That struck me as very true.
ooh...sharp. Liked this David
was just talking about this the other day. Your point is made far more eloquently than mine.
You have caused me considerable pleasure, as your words brim with consequence. I particularly like this: " . . . made it a fashion to generously make romance with enigma." I'll be reading more of your writing.
Thanks everyone for your comments :D
