Your poem is very succinct and direct. Let me take just one stanza first: #3 WHY DON'T YOU FIND MY MISTAKES AND IMPROVE MY SIGHT? That's what I did for 34 years with adolescents some of whom were very gifted and I could work cooperatively with them, others were very needy but resentful of me. I grew increasingly uncomfortable with the role of the one who judges others and corrects them. I did not want to exercise such power. I was stressed out for 34 years, and the relief I feel not being that judge and authority figure is so wonderful. // WHY DONT YOU WRITE POEMS TO ME IN A REGULAR STYLE? What does REGULAR STYLE mean? It's taken me about 25 years to write my present poetry and I think it has a PERSONAL style. I am not in full control of how I write poems and I dont want to be in full control. I want to leave openings for surprise, mystery, the unexpected. But I want you to tell me more about your expectations to see how I can accomadate them.
