Poetry: Read and Listen

[Jackie]

Horror is not meant to be nice.
But we were together in the end. :-)

I guess this is where ambiguity and metaphor is where I part company with artists in every single case. Everything from poetry, to paintings even to Penn and Teller. I am no fan of "mystery" without explanation. It does NOT destroy the value of the artist to have the explanation behind it.

I even hated it when my parents said "look it up in the dictionary" when I didn't know how to spell a word or it's meaning. It isn't the learning I object to, but the "sink or swim" default position in every case. There is nothing wrong with explaining things. 

Thanks for clarifying, it still is powerful imagery.
