My Poetry audience?

...it seems to me that I have a very niche poetry audience...to which I adore...my poetry style has gradually over time become more dragged out and in general only for those who truly have time on their hands to read it...1

...alienating and annoying people who expect convention is what I live for...and although I am stroking convention every now and then...I'm sure to throw that cat in the shower when I'm done and watch it get pissed off with me and scratch me in the face...2

...where am I going with this? Good question...I'm at a fork road...minus my long project (clairvoyants partisans etc etc) to which I will keep at a steady pace until I decide to finish...does anyone think I should focus on a direction that my poetry is taking? Or even better try something new and see where it takes me...3

...no I'm not becoming dependant on the people that read my poetry or seeking their approval...I just want a challenge...because I think if I find what people seem to dig out of my word gunk as interesting and focus on it...I could potentially make something half decent for people to slightly like for more than five seconds...4

P.S. Yes Palace was ok...the only reason that poem exists though is because the song "Palace" by Mare happened to be on at the time...it was very structured and very conventional...in other words...not what I would usually do...just thought I'd point that out...if you wish for me to do something like that then please pipe up...5

P.P.S Yes I just put the P.S before signing with my name...yes I'm taking English language as an A-Level so that makes me kind of stupid...

    always try new forms, of and beyond the printed word.

    as far as tangents... follow em, but remember the way back... it's that latter part that's a bitch.
