A Goodreads user asked Jan Steckel:

I read the poem Straight Is The Gate. It's actually a genuine poem. Good. Note most of the writing @ Goodreads is all about I / me me me and the rhyme schemes all require poetic license. Genuine poets do not require a license. Every time I get an email I spend a half hour scrolling looking for an actual poem. I don't have time? http://michaelslevinson.com

Jan Steckel Thanks so much for reading my poem and for your kind comment, Michael! I looked at your website -- with your campaign, I can see why you don't have time to waste. Best of luck with all your endeavors! Warmly, Jan
