It is good that you write on this site, I do try to comment on poems, I think it is only fair to see the words of other poets. I admire your confession and look forward to your renewed enthusiasm.

No, that\'s how we all learned on this site. How our replies started to dwindle and then it hit us, oh yeah, we gotta leave feedback on other poems too! Really great write!

Edward, I completely agree with Michael. He said everything I had in mind to say, but much more eloquently than I could have done!
The one thing I would like to say about comments is that everybody on this site is soooo friendly, and soooo kind. Sometimes toooo friendly, and toooo kind. I for one wouldn\'t mind some constructive criticism since it would help me improve my writing. But, having said that, I am only human and take a compliment with pleasure anytime! ;-)

Don\'t berate yourself - we all fall into that trap from time to time. Just remember there\'s nothing wrong with looking forward to see what others say about your work - speaking for myself this encourages me to write more and try out different work. One of my very few complaints about this site is that few are able to break out of their particular style and the site does get a bit \'heavy\' at times hence my more whimsical pieces. By the way I do wish there was a discussion forum on this site where we could exchange ideas such as these..
However you do only get out what you put in and if you don\'t comment on others work you will soon find your own comments will dry up. Having said all this I really do enjoy reading the work of others (which can also be equally inspirational) and leaving comments. I look forward to this as much as I do reading my own reviews and the friendships struck up are also helpful and make this a great community.
Your gracious apology accepted but not necessary. . Look forward to seeing more of your work.

An admirable confession of human nature, and an equally admirable goal you set. Congratulations, Edward!

Meanwhile - hey , I have to look first at comments on MY poems. Yes, yes always! Someone may have married me off to Kate Price (if you see KP there)! A hideous botox celebrity in the UK. heehee. In the papers nearly every day, etc, etc.

Well, I admit I do sneak on some days, and look at ME first - comments on MY poems! Some days I look at comments on others poems first.
I think It\'s OK, as long as we don\'t get obsessed. The problem may be if we NEVER read any one else\'s poems! doh! (lol).

I think it\'s perfectly normal to wonder what people think of your poetry, especially when first new to a site. I too, have done that (not that I\'ve written much), but I like what you have written.

What puzzles me is when people read writes and not comment, I don\'t have feedback! Feedback is needed so I can improve as a writer. And to those who do, I so appreciate it! Thank You!

Good poem E.
As I\'ve said, I believe you have a good heart, in a \'psychological\' or \'emotional\' meaning of \'heart\'. yet I believe it in a \'physical\' sense too.
\'Heart\' is a very spiritual word. It can mean the literal heart, and the essential part of us, our centre. Well, our heart is in the \'centre\' of our body so..... .
Thinking bit deep here. Got headache now for doing that! (lol).

F.G. Franklin said:
Beauty, it is said , is in the eye of the beholder. If that be so, then your eye must be the window to your soul. What have we if not gratitude and humility as we look upon heaven? It inspires like nothing else save the sea. And the sea is a smaller version of our unexplored universe, reflecting all. The was a wonderful write.
