It is my hope that validation be given at every quarter, dear poet. A long standing criteria in the recognition of poetry is the elevation of language and from whatever end of tthe socioeconomic strata and their corresponding use of language, as they express that elevation of heart and soul through articulation then poetry results. Thanks most kindly.
Thank you kind sir. And such attacks, whichever direction that they may be made are what this expression is about. We all have personal preferences but that should never be the reason for demeaning or ostracising what is not to one's personal taste. What may not be our proverbial cup of tea is definitely rightfully someone else's.
I think my favorite factor about your poetry is not only that I get to research new definitions- and thereby receive their ribbon-wrapped playthings of epic insightful clarity- but I actually am drawn to do so because your flow is just that good. I'm curious though, is the title a suggestion to someone specific in mind?
oh that, anyone in particular? It's always first and foremost to myself and secondarily to anyone who has found themselves on either end of the polarisation. For me to write to someone in specific it would have to be a less 'political' topic and definitely not on a poetic but more direct fashion.

You make an astute and clever case for the validity of both styles and everything in between with the words:

elevated in poetry"

A great opening for a discussion. Deftly penned as always.
