Comment Collectors

~Comment Collectors~


Just forge ahead when things are
so dark!
Number of comments, do not a good poet 
make into a lyrical lark.


Many comment just to be top on the Community 
Board for heavens sake.
Thinking applause from big numbers must make 
me important, big time! What a fake!


Read the comments, some as are empty as shells.
Some full of speciicity, I count these close to my 
heart as well.


Some come by to correct you in front of others.
Please...... pass me by and go bother another.


Just compose good poetry as best as  you can. 
Reach new heights, forget looking for comments,
You came here to pen your best, for your fellowman!

                  ~IF NOT NOW, WHEN~

Lolol touche' Pana! Perfectly expressed. Honestly, I don't think many even look at the 'community board.' It is nice to know someone likes our work; but it shouldn't define us. But we do also have to acknowledge a key factor, in order for people to know we're even here, it's good to comment on other people's poetry. That is how I found you; by your comments ;D But as you pointed out, genuinely :)

This is true....a key factor. But some never reply. I have cut back on comnents due to eye strain...it's hard to fin a balance. I just made a few comments and my eyes are blurring. I really am thrilled to be in the very first anthology.want to see you and others in the next ones.))) Pangie xxx

Comments are a bit of icing on the cake, you submit a poem because you know its good, too bad if others disagree,. Tom

Love your comment. Tom. That's all they are. Its a gift to get one. But don't decry if we get few. Many here have known each other for years! Pangie xx
