To The Squeamish And The Prudish, With Love From The Boorish
Oh dear readers.
Please accept my apologies for my crude and uncivilized tongue...
(I am allowed to use the word tongue aren't I, not quite sure) .
I care not to offend or upset the delicate balance of your universe by my expression of thought and feeling, as rudimentary or primal as they be..
I recognize that rules are meant for the civilized world,
not the emotional one.
Perhaps a caveat could be considered so that content does not offend, the reader being forewarned that an adult is writing for adults...not fairy tales for children.
Perhaps adults who fear that young eyes may see the seamier side of creation should be more observant...just a suggestion dear reader.
Perhaps a rating scale like in the movies?
Whatever works as stifling creative expression of such intimate nature seems akin to book burning.
Life is not always happy or pretty or rated PG.
More often than not it is vulgar and unrefined.
For many of us, we have no words to fit the atrocities of life that are not ill mannered or uncouth.
Let us not forget that we are censoring a persons story on their road of their journey.
So you are forewarned my dear reader and in doing so, do not dictate to me what is proper, and I promise to extend that same courtesy to you.
Seems as though censorship is on a lot of people's minds lately. Nothing stifles creativity like being told to shut up and don't be yourself. It has no place in the creative pursuits!
The second piece ice read about censorship today. First was Profanity by Jeff Taylor, a new member (and personal friend) . I referred him to Pamela's (who coincidentally enough saw your poem and commented) poem Cutting Curtains which is an incredible piece on censorship as well. It is frustrating to have your work taken of the site for reasons such as vulgarity or profanity... They are parts of life, and incredibly relevant in so many situations. ... I could go on complaining about the guidelines for censorship but I'll spare you and get to the point of the matter; good poem Grace. Meaningful and necessary.
Well said. You have every right to express yourself. I hate censorship. We all have the choice to read or not read another's work.
