It always baffles me why writers go to great lengths to shroud and conceal the meaning of their poems.

Gimme back my 10 points o.
@Kaycee: forgive my wordy cloak. If you were quite observant, you would realise that I wrote this poem over three years ago and I’ve been too lazy to edit it since then. I’m sure you won’t have d problem of cloaked themes in my more recent works. Thanks for stopping by sir, and as for your ten points, I’m certain you wnt miss them. (Winks)
Hmmm….
One word caught my attention sha – ‘boy-critics’.
@Shadiat: I wonder, is it the ‘boy’ or the ‘critic’ or the ‘girl’ that caught ur attention. Pray tell…
The ‘boy’ part na (which could also be ‘girl’). It gives me the impression that u look (or looked) down on ur critics; like they’re immature.
Why do poets have nine lives? Is the Herod in your poem the same with the Herod that wanted to marry his niece during the era of John the baptist.
^^^ He means their legacy lives on. And of course it’s the same Herod but Herods by extension mean great men, good or evil, I suppose
Thank you sah. You said it all
