You Liking?

orchidee



You 'liking' there?

You pressing that 'Like' button often?

 

You can even like your own poems

But only once

Though you may be able to come back

And like them again - and again - and....

Only one 'like' each time though

 

That's bit of cheating there!

And it's a bit 'sad' I know

For people with nothing better to do - lol

Or in need of a huge ego trip

 

But, hey, why not 'like' your poems once

If no-one else has 'liked' them

You will at least have one 'like'

Even if it's your own!

 

And - there's no 'dislike' button

No one writes 'I don't care for this poem much'

Someone wrote that on a load of poems

On another site somewhere

And incurred poet's wrath

Whoops!

 

Woof, woof, Fido still on guard

For any poems not marked 18+

When they should be!

      You've been around, ain't you orchi? Your penultimate stanza - wow the wild west of poetry land!
      Ta for the advice, but you can only do it once - I've tried....

        I'll gladly like the poems of other poets, but not my own as if I didn't like my own I would not have posted it to begin with. To my way of thinking, that new like button is for a poet to use on other's poems. But...that's just me. Nicely penned Orchi. ; )

          Thanks AP.
          Oh, I dunno - we might post some old rubbish, and 'like' it (note to self: You speak for yourself, Orchi! lol).

          Nothing stays the same does it ... heart shaped buttons .. whatever next ..
          I just hit the bloomin thing, now ya got three ..
          I would never hit my own tho' not for nobody ...
          happy to press gently for poetic peers n persons who prefer to present prose ...

          Neville 🙂

              Yeah, I came back on today or was it when I uploaded my last poem "Thursday 24th June 2021" , to find the new "like" button, I must have been gone a fair bit bless me.

              Anyway, you've written something very important here orchidee, about the importance of self-liking and also celebrating what you like and what what you have enjoyed. Also another very important fact, is that all is positive here, and that there is no such thing as a "dislike" button, which is a very decent thing indeed.

              I will try ever so hard not to push the "like" button on one of my own, but I have pushed it for this one of yours; right here.

              Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
