    hello DD it is a blues song I wrote about a year ago , and thought I'd publish it
    as a poem especially fitting for April fools day

    Does my memory fail me (not an improbable proposition) Or did we not have a conversation about your poems as songs, and you denied that but did concede that some might be lyrical?? Come on - fess up: you are a songwriter having a holiday at MPS😇!!!

    I write both songs and poems. I guess that accounts for many of my poems having a lyrical
    aspect, and many of my songs being a little verbose. I think my poems and those that began
    as songs are an asset to MPS. To me most of the poetry here tries to appeal to what the
    poets, mistakenly, think of as the intellect. I feel like the poetry lacks a necessary quality of
    simplicity. The highly regarded poetry magazines like Poetry, Rattle, etc. are regrettable failures.
    I like your poetry and find your comments interesting and enlightening .

    I think repetition is or can be an artsy feature in song or poem. I really liked this one!!
