David - I would also applaud your decision to leave the verse to your own websites. I don't doubt some of us will engage in debate and argument with you in other threads, but the repeated posting of the same verses is, in the end, fruitless.

I'm not a great fan of your poetry but - if you wrote some NEW stuff on your website, I'd give it a look. If an art form seriously engages a person, I don't think he or she could just draw a line under it and call it their Life's Work. Life goes on - we change as people - we get older and different. That should surely be reflected in what we say, whether we say it in words and/or music.

So - pick up the pen and paper, exercise the Little Grey Cells and have a go.
