Avataria

Dear GH,

Thoughtful notion. Using one’s imagination is a wonderful exercise. I love the images created in my head when reading someone’s work. There’s a greater sense of ownership and involvement for me when some mystery is put into the mix and I have to create the scene. What was that line from The Wizard of Oz? “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”
Great write! H🌷

I love your comment❣️ thank you so much 🙏 Could you imagine an existence with out imagination...well I guess we couldn't, right? 😁 I am pleased by your idea of reader ownership. Great Oz quote as well. I don't look quite like the wizard, yet 😋 🌷💜

I dig this and can understand it but knowing what Stephen King or Shel Silverstein looks like never made me not want to read their books.  I like to imagine the story or poem not the author. ❤

I agree nikkimoe, in some Instances. In fact, in some cases the appearance of the author can enhance the experience for me. Thank you for the groovy dig 😁 and I don't mean as in criticism but In the far out way you used it 😁🌷💜

Bull's-eye GW ... that is why I went that way ... it's not suppose to be about me ... but rather my poetry ...  

I remember your first pic, it is beautiful. I agree with your decision, in some odd way, I think it makes our poetry more universally accessible, or not 😁💕🌷

The feeling Poet, Good to see You here Gahddess
Truth in Your words, flowing poetically

Thank you kind sir! You have a certain Zen quality about you that makes me extra grateful when you comment. 🙏
As you commented, I am a feeling poet that, perhaps, feels a little too deeply at times 🙄

Never too Deep...the pain or hurt gives better understanding in/of empathy and pure give a shit.

Zen quality...well I'm truly Humbled My Friend, That made me smile big time!!!

I've been a fan from the day Ya came In G...I'll always be reading!!!

I feel the element of mystery is of high importance to the poetic persona.  Looks are of little consequence.  Excellent work, Gahdess.

So true, Sir Crow! Thank you so much for reading and commenting...it's so good to have you back.

It is a very good point presented in a very effective way with your great writing. Possibly I should change my avatar to something that leaves more to the imagination... food for thought.

I don't know the mask lends an air of mystery to your appearance. I appreciate your comment  I had forgotten about this poem and I am glad to have a chance to revisit it's words.  I am also glad that you understand my message as well.❣❣😘
