two things      

1. Every poem you make reveals far more than you intend it to. The good reader enters into your poem and detects your personal views, your interests, what you're reading at the moment, your social class and economic status, your level of education, your gender, your nationality, and potentially such things as race, creed and sexual preference. This is only a small portion of your poetic fingerprint. The most potent revelation, perhaps, is the irony of what you fear.



2. You must not let this worry you.
