Am I the only person who actually contacted admin to let them know of the obvious 'glitch'? I saw the mass posting of the same poem so alerted them, no fuss no drama we all know the site has bugs from time to time. Regarding posting 10 poems - it is allowed by admin so I make sure I post my one poem after they have done their 10 poem allowance, and credit where credit is due if someone can write and post 10 quality poems a day good on them!

I too am mind blown, and not in the good way. I’m mind blown that Barbie didn’t win the Oscar for best picture. Sure, I know Oppenheimer was the new Prometheus and destroyer of worlds yada yada yada but c’mon, Barbie gives me a nuclear reaction too.

I understand many are able to post daily, and many times. I'm lucky to get a poem a month. (Between moments in life.)

Oh, my ! I'll take that as a compliment.

While your full life is unassailable, your poetry is exquisite enough to lure many to their rocky ocean deaths!!! Sirens unite!!!

I know, Tommy. ' Good things come to those who wait.'

I wish you posted more. Once a week?

it's the poetic equivalent of getting stuck in a supermarket queue behind someone whose trolley is piled sky high

Like Hilo, I've been flagged for posting up to 10 poems in a day. I couldn't write any more poems that day. I could only post comments and read poems. Writing 20 poems in a row is quite mind-boggling. How did that happen?

Tom
Woody

I'm seriously considering my own blog on this and other recommendations for change or improvement. One poet posted the same poem 36 times!!! A few others "poem dump" ten or more at a time. Some will say, "So what's the problem? Who cares?" We're all vying for space and attention here (don't pretend you're not fellow poets). When someone dumps a bunch of poems it knocks everyone down the list, lessening their chances of getting noticed. Solution? Easy. No one should be allowed to post more than one poem per day.

Lol Arlo. Ever the chameleon.

Arlo Parker
Date: 4/22/2024 6:45:00 PM

Blogsters of the world are looking to you for leadership and assurance (right?; Nah!). Can't wait for the enlightened response you words will elicit. Should be a dandy week!!!!!!

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 4/22/2024 12:58:00 AM

And I never break the rules or breach terms and conditions as you know.

Tom Woody
Date: 4/21/2024 7:56:00 PM

But no more than ten. It's against the rules

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 4/21/2024 7:47:00 PM

And I promise they will be ten quality comments.

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 4/21/2024 7:45:00 PM

I’ll post ten comments on each one and send them all sizzling hot.

Tom Woody
Date: 4/21/2024 4:09:00 PM

I'm thinking of posting ten blogs per day. According to Jan that should be just hunky dory. Maybe tomorrow

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 4/21/2024 12:19:00 AM

By the way, the shades lend an air of gravitas. Cool too!

Keith D Trestrail
Date: 4/20/2024 11:26:00 PM

Oh please! I do enjoy your blogs. They bring order to a world of chaos. But no more than one per day.

Brandy Nicole
Date: 4/20/2024 6:25:00 PM

Smiling at you. :)

Tom Woody

I might be the only one to remember this, but years ago there was someone similar. I could see that she was putting up the SAME poems sometimes and just using different titles. Really weird!! Also there was a guy whose only goal was to be first place for number of poems posted. Not really a poet and didn't even know it

Sara
Etgen-Baker

Date: 4/19/2024 2:59:00 AM

I've unearthed several poems I wrote years ago; plus, I've written ahead. So I submit 3 and sometimes four poems in one day....but 20? They can't be enjoyed. I hear you, though.

Frederic Parker
Date: 4/19/2024 11:13:00 AM

no Sara not a poet like you but those and one in particular who posted over 20 one after another...I find it sad

Hilo
Poet

Date: 4/19/2024 12:50:00 AM

TPS does a 24-hour/military-timer from one’s 1st to their 10th posted poem and they’ve flagged me whence I’ve reached their ruling on that issue and if I’m operating on a standard timer, I’d be clueless if midnight hasn’t tolled, YET, a fate saved as flagged rehash said point. I too noted the excessive abstractions … appears Mr Ismay has left the ship …

Frederic Parker
Date: 4/19/2024 11:15:00 AM

thanks, Hilo, I didn't know about the 10 a day...but 20 plus

Eve
Roper

Date: 4/18/2024 10:19:00 PM

I have a problem even writing one, I just cannot fantom writing three. How do those poets do it.

Frederic Parker
Date: 4/19/2024 11:17:00 AM

poets don't but like Sara said she will post older poems from time to time, My mind was blown when I counted over 20 all at once

Keith D
Trestrail

Date: 4/18/2024 7:36:00 PM

Yep, I hear ya, Frederic. Whatever happened to limits? It is so selfish to post so many so quickly and deprive other users the exposure they deserve. Also, how does a new post half way down the page get 500+ clicks? Oh yeah, I remember now.
