Poem Title:
Poem
Phantom Readers I thought I had it all figured out, given the difference in location of countries and time, Local time here is something like 12 hours ahead of USA which uses Pacific time.. As a fledgling writer of prose and posting them up as original bits of my poetry, It’s best to post new poems during daylight hours there in US and European countries. I presume I am just like any other writer, trying to craft and string sentences that rhyme… Hoping that glimpses of creativity and originality are visibly displayed every time.. Hoping too each poem will be well received and readership number increases steadily so… Checking ever so often if some phantom readers here would leave a comment or two.. Experience has proven that readership numbers is hugely dependent on the timing of a posting, Given that newer postings will push the earlier ones down the List of the New Poem postings.. Until and unless one has regular readers who have earmarked you as one of their regular favorites… The readership number is slow to pick up and before you know it, your new poem out of date.. Now I am rightly very piqued, I have just posted my latest poem here in local daylight hours… Believe me, I did scratch my head in bewilderment, for the readership did show up in numbers.. So far 11 readers had reviewed my latest poetry in the last hour, so much so I am given to wonder , Who are the readers, for the English readers in US and European readers are rightly in slumber?
