According to your profile page you do not read other poets work on here or make comments... why is that then?
thank you for bringing the matter to my attention. i post comments on allpoetry.com without intent to enrage, get irate, provoke, rile...the half dozen plus other sites overlooked without aversion to share, but self engrossment trying to scrounge around for websites the cost minimal or absolute zero cents in a futile effort to experience winning just a dollop of dollars, si?
