The great question, so often asked, here is my take on it, I write poetry, its niche at best, and in my case for those that read , an acquired taste, would I change , would I spend my day's writing affirmations, or haiku's no would be answer , not that there is anything wrong with it , but its not me, do I ever expect to make money writing my particular brand of poetry, no, it would be a life bonus, but I am not delusional enough to believe that what I write has a universal charm , it has not , it is too , harsh for some, and not harsh enough for others, so do I write for an audience, no I write for me , and if one other individual likes it , then I feel like an elated life saver, who has just saved another life, one person, seeing in my poetry something of worth is enough for me.
