Who decides what's intended Assuming the poet writes first, the reader then reads, you tell me. But I know there's more to it.Originally Posted by gleeber
Some music seems to automatically get feet tapping, right? Intentional or accidental?
In essence, that kind is a style introduced long before you and I were even a glint. It has been perpetuated from poet to poet. Those with no ear for anything remotely musical will of course miss something that is there though that may not in any way spoil their enjoyment.
True poets aren't commercially inspired.

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
This poet intends this to be Caithness Haiku! It is about the home I lived in very happily as a wee lassagie.

Ann, I love Haiku and you've done well there with that submission.

Thank you kind sir!
Mr remarks are mainly directed to gleeber.
I thought I would recommend as a starter, the short novel "Callanish" by William Horwood only 190 pages and covers a subject that I know will be of interest to you. If you find that holds your attention then maybe you could graduate to "The Stonor Eagles" by the same author.
Now. am I likely to find you browsing the shelves of "Tall Tales" next time I'm up?
