So far on bsky, I've been mostly talking about my upcoming children's book, so I thought I'd mix things up a bit this time.

This is "Universal Appeal" from one of my books of poetry; it's not widely available, but it seemed like a good place to start.

(Image, showing the text of the poem, as follows) -Universal Appeal- Most people won't like it whatever it is, whether ink on a page, or dots on a screen, or words or sounds or silence, or movement on an open stage. Whether it lies in that great divide between Hemingway and Faulkner, between Plautus and Poe, between Monet and Mondrian, between Chekhov and Chaucer, between Shakespeare and Shaw. The won't like it. That's a truth you must swallow, but it is not all that you need to know. Consider also this: Some will. © Doug Bedwell, 2019 "Quiet Things and Other Poems"
