Trust me, I can talk all day about poetry :) I would shoot you a link to posts-refugee tags=poetry to show it, but for some reason my attempts to make that link work aren't, well, working.

I can talk about words and writing all day long and be really happy! I was really pleased when I read your post. It was better than I (a cynic) feared. It surprised me. And that's great, and makes me happy.

Everyone will interpret your art differently. My brother once read a poem where I thought the narrator was clearly female. At the end he said he was confused because at first, he assumed the narrator was male. That's literally just a factor of his own life experience impacting how he approaches a story. Can't control that - but gotta be aware of it.
