Non De Plume

I'd like to talk about the folk who hide behind a mask. Especially schizophrenic one’s who know their time has passed. The ones who like to talk a lot about the things they know. And know they're always, always, right. their best side tells them so. Who are the fools who risk their all by showing their own name. Some even show their face as well are they bloody insane? If everybody says they're crap they’ll have no place to hide, but have to learn to take the blow and see the other’s side. I wouldn’t like to get confused with those with pseudonym, for this is just an artist choice the way that’s right for him. I’m only really speaking of the ones who hide in shame in case, for comments on their work they have to take the blame. If you’ve a name for both of you that helps you on your way, please don’t forget to take the pills you should have everyday. At least produce some poetry that’s written as a team. Might I suggest togetherness becomes your special theme! Ivor G Davies
