Written September 20, 1991 -  hello poetry allows me the freedom to let all of you see, think about, approve, disapprove , make comments and/or move on.
For me, Hello Poetry is like an "Open Stage,"  and I am able to be there 24/7.   Part of me is out there and that makes my day.

The real tragedy lies in the damage to the USA status in the world. I am deeply ashamed of the people who defend and support this uneducated animal.

"hiddenemyself, " my original poem was written in the 90's.  "unseen" is so slightly different than "hidden," but there is a difference which I will think about tonight and tomorrow.  There is another question which changes the name, depending where you put the comma.

"Unseen" replaces hidden, but easily a synonym fitting my thought about guns.   This was originally published in Modern Haiku.

I have a very strong feeling about the word "hidden." One of my minimals using this word for the first time was "hiddenemyself." The second time I used it was in the combination with the word "chi" and led to "chiddenergy."   This word keeps reappearing in my mind, morphing into new minimals. I know that I will be using it again.
