Moods Ebb and Flow

One thing I've learned here on the Soup The moods of the site ebb and flow Depending on so many unknown factors It can be fast and it can be slow Response to our poems surely won't always Predict the popularity of the piece A great title, as I've suggested many times Is key for the success of your release I'm no expert but been a member since 2012 I've noticed some repetitive patterns Limericks and other stuff can get attention But simple rhymes it's praise they do earn So what I have found since the beginning To get read it helps to add humour No need for words that no one understands That's always been just a rumour So simplicity rules and does every time Main goal is to be understood Communication is the word I'm looking for In this poetry neighbourhood © Jack Ellison 2015

So true. This is the site where I specifically look for light piece and a few smiles during the day. I have plenty of the heavy stuff on my other ones for the erudite to read, but really who wants their brain to hurt?

Hey Jack... I'm stirring a pot by writting a blog about putting one of my own poems in my own contest... Yes a bit tacky... But go comment on my blog... Opinions are greatly appreciated.

So True! I feel sometimes mine are to much the same so I change it up unless it's for my picture framed art.
