NO

Tony36

No, you can't tell me how to write my words
They flow from my pen 
upon the page
I have no control over it
My words are pure and honest that way

However
You want me to change what I say
You want me to dilute or water them down
sugar coat
soften
make them more pleasing to the ear

NO!!!

I will not betray my own thoughts
I will not betray my own soul
I will not change a word of it

      Yes Tony poetry is all about feeling and telling it as it is. If you want something soft and fluffy get a tissue box. A lovely write my friend

              We all write our own words in our own way Tony and this will never change.
