Work in Progress ... or in regress ... or stagnating, one of the three ... #WIP #WIR #Stagnating ...

These will soon be the three books of #poetry I've had/self published. It doesn't have to be fey, although there's nothing wrong with sentimental poetry - there is even some of that in these three books. And a lot that isn't.

I know that many of you do not share my political viewpoint. That's allowed, because democracy should allow people to disagree: but without burning things, fighting, or throwing paint onto works of art. That is barbarism, not democracy.
