They analyzed
The poet’s writing
To find out
About his mind,
Not realizing
That dissecting
A mirror to discover
The nature of the image,
Is humorous illusion.

So very true. I have had multiple occasions to realise that interpretation by others is a reflection of their own feelings/state of mind. On the plus side, it’s pretty amazing that words speak to others in so many different ways and on many levels.

Yes, I would imagine it would be! 🙂 My poetry doesn’t always reveal the real me, depends what I’m writing about.
