nicely written and good questions, Many poets have to be circumspect in deciding who to tell about our writing proclivity. I esp.like the image of the bluebird as the symbol of your writing. Just remember though its getting published in the TEXAS POETRY CALENDAR, which if you think about it those engineering colleagues are scarcely likely to pick up one. If your passion was instead UFO sightings would you be more or less likely to run into one of them? You see to out you they would be outing themselves because only another enthusiast would be there as well, lol. Of course in our cyber-reality embedded world, if anyone googled your name, your hidden life as a poet would spring forth. Thus the use of pen names comes into play. Good Luck on your publishing endeavors
