Does anybody else know what I mean?

I know what you mean, screw the world, harness your creative ability and describes things you want they WAY you want. That's a metaphor son.

Screw the critics. Then re-double your own self-discipline to scrutinize your own work . You can ALWAYS improve a work. Many times, however, it is most touching to you in its original form. Keep that for you, and rewrite it for consumption, if that is your goal. Money/sales is a true measure of the worth of your effort given the press is adequate.

"Admire" is a word that may connote ego and pride and turn off readers. To get you out of that mud, try wonder and awe-inspiring...uh....something like that. There, I'm a critic screwy...no shun necessary. Best wishes to you.

Yeah I think I know that.

Purple are not really the sky or something, it's the color of your heart or mind at that time.

You live as a poet, but others do not.

Aurora Borealis maybe, the Northern Lights.

It is a song, you can mean whatever you want - its your expression of your feelings. I would also relate the color purple with royalty and thus the winter nights are royal with their purple hue.

I guess but oddly colored skies are more likely at sunrise and sunset. What winter is better known for is being blazingly bright and sharp because of the white snow.

it doesn't have to make sense to other you just have to be happy with it.... i personally love it!!
