TODAY'S POET
Does it help to be a woman?
Or bring awareness if you're black?
Just be wise and make the most of both
The world has got your back!

If that is the case then I apologize. I missed the news item about Wendy Cope.
An incorrect assumption in an age in which to be readily offended appears endemic. I was reading the news item on Wendy Cope
and it occurred that there had surely never been a time when poets
in either category had so much opportunity to be read and heard.
And that both could and should make hay now that the sun shines
so brightly on the stuff they produce. Cheers!
If I didn't know better I'd assume that this is a dig at another poet on this site.
I hope that I'm wrong, and not reading too much into this.

"If that is the case..."? Perhaps "That being the case..." would be
more appropriate. No apology sought or expected - not least
because all poets are open to comment for any number and
variety of reasons. Note Wendy Cope's mention about the good
humoured response from a certain famous English poet to her poetical reference to him. Gird the loins and soldier on!! Poetry
can stand it. Ditto its exponents...including yours truly..
