appreciation for a comment

As I heuristically plunder and blunder into allpoetry I am truly embarrased by such excellent comments. Those were really appreciated comments. You caught the light humorous vein of the thing, and did not get all pouty like some other critics who felt I was prosletyzing for Rush Limbaugh or something. Men need to get in touch with the 'little boy' inside, I guess it is the feeling or going fishing or trail riding or some such, AND then try to get those thoughts into a poem. That's what I was doing in a simplisticly stated way. I do not think that the perceptions of a little boy are to be considered trash or an old snake skin that dies to be trod in the dust, that the little boy consciousness is recallable and usable. It is an adventurous spirit, and a spirit filled with a naive sort of awe. Although the spirit of a little boy might not be apparent to the real little boy as he grows it does exist in a prosaic and secular sort of a way all by itself. It is in a way a bad sort of dogma to show little boys that they need to be 'Harry Potter' and put such fool notion in their heads as they are quite capable of unprovoked nonsense and mischief if let alone to their own devices. Bottom line to all that might be , they have yet to be indoctrinated and incorparted into the vagueries of our highly doctorine, segmented, and formatted lives.
