Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the Fair Use protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

TO THE RUSSIAN--AND OTHER--READERS OF THIS BLOG




A few readers have communicated with me, and I have responded to each of them in either English or Spanish.  Recently I have received several emails in Russian; this presents a problem:  I have never had the opportunity to learn the language of the great Russian people.  

As unimportant as the author of this blog must be, to open emails that I could not read (emails that might bear destructive viruses and other malware) would be unwise, considering the fact that I have been critical of the virulent persecution of homosexuals under the current Russian régime, and considering the Russian régime's manipulation of the Internet. (I am aware of my own government's intrusions too, but they are of a different kind and are irrelevant to the concerns of this post.)  

Because of these considerations, I open only emails that I understand and that I can verify as not presenting a threat.  

Readers can safely communicate with me through the Comments at the bottom of each post.  No reader's comments will be published unless the commenter wishes it; and answers, if any, will be worded in a way that will preserve the commenter's anonymity.

I hope that all readers will continue to enjoy the poems posted on Homoerotic Poems.
