A🌟Long🌟Read🐢 I am a master at saying everything and nothing. Or at least rather good at it. But this poem has a purpose. Whatever you may think about me, there's something virtually everyone is missing. Motives often only prove inscrutable when one assumes that any action must be fundamentally personal. Over the past 10 days I've "unfollowed" at least 700 accounts and blocked a significant number of others. The motivation from this is two-fold: A) while I may have an analytical/deductive capability that is atypical to the point it gets confused for intuition, I often struggle to discern meaning from action when other people have personal investments I don't fully understand. B) my mother is by no means famous but, for a professional author, published award winning poet, professional editor and teacher I have access to literally thousands of various literary publications and books that were created in a time before anyone even considered the possibility of the internet and the potential implications of plagiarism. My mother has been part of a Poetry/Writing community for over 45 years now. I had considered sharing some of her work and some of her friends' works as well. So in the end I'm left with this. My work sounds borderline professional and my analysis of others work is similar because I was literally born that way. But I cannot ever forget the work I've seen my mother put into her craft and while I would feel marginally flattered with anyone stealing my own words - I would feel genuinely awful if it belonged to my mother or the men and women she's known for over 50 years now who in a way helped raise me. Food for Friday Thought. 🌹Matthew🌹 MDK / @always_kos 🎈✨ #poet #poem #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poetry #writing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writing #poetsofinstagram #author #creative #creativity #noplagarism #justart #artattack #arttherapy #arteverything #artist #creator #inspired #words #quotes #instagood (at Northeast Washington, Washington, District of Columbia)
