Alice! I thought it was a poem you had found in a books of poems! "Four-eyed git"! Can't believe you wrote that :-) . That it came into your mind whilst driving is amazing. You are right to ignore the 'experts'. Write what you feel and enjoy the process. I think you just have to find the right publisher Think of all the authors whose books were rejected numerous times before being accepted by one publisher who could see the worth of the writing.
Can’t believe what spills out myself sometimes Mell… ‘four-eyed git’ is tame… wait and I’ll put Morton Baggot up, prepare to be amused and shocked in equal measure. Thanks for reading and commenting. I’ve let those f*#=wits go now, they thought they’d broken me, but I rise like a phoenix from the ashes. 💪🏼
I love this Alice-Ann! I love the way the words find you, and how poetry writes the words through you. The music. The dance. Those pompous poetry institutions have it all backwards. They forgot the real meaning of poetry a long time ago. Thanks for keeping it alive. We are the poem.
Hi Marcel, has crossed my mind - but not sure if the content is interesting enough. I’ve had my books, written for grandchildren, printed and bound as gifts but maybe self publishing is a route I could explore. ❤️
It might be something to consider. There are several options out there. I've gone with Kindle Direct Publishing with Amazon. With them you can create Kindle ebooks, soft cover and even hard cover books. The only thing is that you have to do all the formatting yourself, which can take some trial and error to learn. Otherwise, it's good fun.

Yes indeed - we are the poem - with our own beautiful phrasing, tempo and unfolding story. Thank you for wonderful encouragement. ❤️
Lovely ❤️ Ever thought of self-publishing?
