Again and again, Michal, I will insist you
chase down your dreams and surely you will think
me, justly, a pedantic old fool who doesn’t get
whatever fool thing your generation invents,
but I digress.
                 I won’t say how I cried on the plane,
when you were eight months old, and I was
cleaving myself from you and mom, just for
a weekend, to pursue my own dreams. I won’t
let you know how stupid I felt as I landed, having
confused the priorities of my ambitions and my loves.

Your input has been helpful and encouraging to me having a bit of faith in my own words. Also, I love your poetry and it has inspired me to try some more descriptive work and tell more of the story.

That is, not from laziness nor yet snobbery (I trust!) but because I sometimes feel a piece is complete untitled. But thanks to your strong words on the subject, John, and certain practical points you made e.g. about readers being able to identify and access one's work, I am resolving to use titles in future - if only, as you say, a reiteration of the first line. WK: Wonderful evocation of frustration and being driven to distraction, in your piece above! Dear WK – and John – me too.

I have been looking futher on the site (tips for writing poems) and am ashamed to say that I am (as you have may have noticed) one of the lazy ones. I have not named any of the 4 poems. I assure you it is not because I snobbishly 'refuse to label my art' but merely fear of stuffing it up. They do have working titles tho, so in future I shall use them in lieu. Above is : James For John
