Author’s Note: Yes! Yes, it’s a self portrait. Scribbled it myself. Right handsome likeness, I thought, so I included it with the hand written poem. It’s about the story. Always there’s a story behind every poem. That’s precisely why I include “Author’s Notes,” to tell you from whence came the idea to form the poem (with help from the Spirit, the sixth sense, more often than not). In school, I always wanted to know what the poet was thinking, why write such a poem, artistically twisting words, commas and meanings which, befuddled, my lame dyslexic one tract schoolboy brain simply couldn’t decipher. What was the intended message? I obviously had reader’s block in school. So I decided to include “Author’s Notes” and VOILA! Folks love it❤️
