Thank you kind sir. And such: 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.

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.
