love this. i believe many of us can relate to your story - an artist’s struggle is quite universal.

thank you for sharing.

This is an excllent story of how creative commons licenses have vitalized creative efforts by making them available and accessible. Bravo!

How many of us have been keeping our creativity in a bottom drawer, a closet shelf, a hidden space, lacking opportunities to bring them to the light of day. You’ve done better than most I suspect. This poem brings that experience to light and shows how the process of sharing can rekindle flames long extinguished or reduced to a glowing ember.

…and …can I borrow your accent??? :-)

This told a fantastic story as I listened to every breathe and reading along. I dig it a lot!

Fabulous poem and delivery. Well done!

You told my words, Debbi. Thank you.
You are a genuine soul. My all respects!
