Always Look Up Poet

I saw a poet looking gray and down, So, I asked him, what was the matter? He whined he wasn’t being read, there was little, if any chatter. A poet writes, yes, but should not expect a big brass band. He was flustered with me, I could see, and broke the pencil in his hand. Keep a list of those who comment, be sure you do reciprocate at their poetry gate! I don’t know if he heard me, his skin became quite ashen. He told me of sad experiences where other poets took great joy in nasty character bashin’! A tear rolled down his hot cheeks and I said “welcome to the world.” Write on, like a warrior, your head high, And your poetry flag,forever unfurled. For God sees each poem you create. After all, twas He who gave you the gift to write at all,mate! He knows quite well of your pain. What’s more He sees your great progress and gains! 3/9/2023

Hello Darlene, the email has not arrived yet. There is a thing called internet traffic, that slows down deliveries. Your idea of clinking! I love it. Both of us are cider mad!)) Wish you were here in California. Some great p,aces for lunch! Hugs,Pangie

Hi Pangie! Writing and sharing poetry should already be a satisfactory thing in itself. Before internet came along, those of us who could not afford to publish books had little or no opportunity to showcase their work. Now the situation is better, and yet we ask for more....more likes, more comments, etc. As you say "keep writing no matter what." ~ Best regards, my friend // paul

Hello Paul. There are tons of sites to showcase our work. The more ,the better! I realize how inexperienced I am. Wow. I Am grateful you stopped by to visit. Working on producing quality work, no more 10 day. There is much to learn and a life to live. Hugs Pangie

Glad you found this thank you, today is my birthday . The older I get, the more I realize how much , I do not know, sorry this came across as advice, it was noy meant to, Your career advice has the initials CCP in it,,,that was unnerving, I know you are exquisitely funny but you know I loathe the CCP. Must acknowledge you for your chutzpah. Dame Pangie

Hello Panagiota, Yes Panagiota some poetry does not get read. Because they g=have no comments at all. I never understood that. Because the poem is well written. Hugs. /Darlene/ xxx

Hello, Darlene! I guess, it’s just a mystery. Perhaps the poem is not fascinating enough? As I told other poets, keep writing no matter what. Try new forms, perhaps. The site is way too big, also. People work or may be unwell to have time to comment. Many are new and get overrun by those who have been here long. Image will be posted tomorrow for this. Hugs, Pangie xo

Thank you for clarifying..Everyone sees your piems or mine through their subjective lens. Just be you. I realize we want feedback. But it’s overkill.don’t count who has the most comments. They are quite meaningless.many use poems of others to climb the comments board. I think that thing is from hell! I don’t gibe aril that Joe made 40 comments and Debbie made 100 . What does that have to do with anything. I do understand me. Sometimes my best pietry is by passed. Sometimes groups here write stuff to poison others against you so,Pat yourself on the back, YOU wrote the poem let go of people not commenting. You,Dilly, write more. You can always soup up me with a new one. I will read it. Enjoy, relax. Love yourself. Do not look to others. Some will read you for years then suddenly, will not read you. That’s a hard one..don’t figure it out So what? Keep going, Pangie

In the sense I do tend to hang about wondering if anyone will like a poem I've written - oh the shame!
