I believe your poems are greatly under-read my little Desert Orchid and is indicative that the larger an organisation becomes the lonelier the people in it. Take care, Richard

I do agree with you, Mr Seal. What can be done about this??? :( I do wish my poems got more coverage, but as long as I get my regulars...INCLUDING YOU...I'm happy! :)

Yes, Nette. You ARE a sweetie pie, and you do visit me often. This is geared towards some poets who always get visits from me, yet hardly EVER visit. It is disturbing, to say the least. Thanks for caring enough to read and post. Means a great deal to me.

Maybe you leave them speechless upon your arrival. Maybe they want you (virtually) near, hence their "need" for your comments. Either way, they should be hit in the head with a Nerf bat and return the favor. It works. I know. I Googled it...

WOW! Wish that were the case....leaving them speechless! ;) Lend me your Nerf bat, will ya! I'm glad you never forget me, Drake! So glad.

It's a shame not everyone reciprocates reads and reviews on this site. If I ever forget to return a review, feel free to remind me. This was short, but descriptively sweet.

Thanks ever so much, Robert. I can't be too hard here on people because I guess I've fallen into this myself. I'm talking about those whom I REGULARLY visit and who seem to have no time or inclination to drop by. You've been a dear. Thanks for the visits. :)
