O aspiring poet – thanks for your call;
You came to show us your work – is that all?
Here’s your first poem – on what, may I ask?
I cannot read it – I’m not up to this task:
All about Nature Love or Suicide?
With irregular spacing, you decide.
And no need to bother with other’s work -
That will be one task so easy to shirk.
No background no context do you provide;
It stands alone, a masterpiece you decide.
Nothing about you – moving right along
To yet another site with its call so strong…….

- Comment from author about the poem: Originally posted way back in 2021. And it feels even more relevant now. If it weren't for (I have to mention him - credit where credit's due) the yeoman efforts of sorenbarrett there would be no or virtually no responsiveness to other's work here. Too many posts are a quick dump of some words and away; no background, no interaction of any value...nothing.

I had noticed that.
Just assumed the super poets on this site didn't need to comment on others work.
Does make it a bit unsociable, mind you, and you do tend not to read the ones who don't comment.
Not meaning me here- just overall as I work down the page, poems, no context (via Public profile) no coherent response to comments where they occur, no evidence of readings of other's work... and so on...
Convicted again. I am a master of my own peace x
Going too inscrutable again....
That's me.
😂
You make an interesting point, mate. Nicely done.
Thanks for your vote, Tom.
Well I haven't been around for a while, but I feel this has always been the case especially on this site. When I last posted regularly I would read 95 per cent of poems posted on that day, leaving feedback on around 80 per cent. My own poems I would be lucky if 15 people read them on the first day of being published, which is a bit of a one way street. Anyway to get back to old ways have a great weekend!!
I think you've got that right - thanks.
You are so spot on in what you said but I notice an accent on your post by by the person you wrote about I was kind of surprised cause he writes on everyone's post so I'm kind of curious did the post that you put out here has anything to do with the post that he put out today I believe he's reaching out and saying it was a big misunderstanding and I'm not a genius but makes sense and what he wrote today
Circuitry blown? I acknowledged Soren's efforts at making this place a more responsive environment in my comments.
I kinda get this Dave .. & with respect, I reckon good old SB deserves a good pat on the back .. neville with a small N 😎👍👍
The dynamic does feel different from when I joined.
Well SB got the best I can provide, and with the addition of your endorsement, he should be feeling pretty OK about himself.
ouch...i do read what i comment on - or hold my peace..what you say though holds more than a grain of truth
Just the grain is all I aspire to...
Only if the cap fits, then wear it - but I don't think it applies to you.
that's such a relief, because i do read - otherwise i do not comment - lol
and trust me - from my end its always an outpouring, never a grain or two..
😂 I know - I've known ladies with that same characteristic...😊
lol - it's a worldwide phenomenon for sure...
have a great day,, and a lovely weekend
Will do.
