Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Comments

I ignore hurtful or rude comments, its something that I abhor
But if you praise my poems I will go on writing more

I am quite new to poetry so I appreciate any words you say
If they are constructive and helpful it will really make my day

I try my best to comment back and join in and make it fun
Some comments are hilarious, I laugh and my tears do run

Ever since I joined the site I’ve tried to write with humour
Us Brits can laugh at ourselves - it’s not a nasty rumour

I’ve learned so much in a short time I feel part of the crowd
My self-confidence is sky high and now I feel so very proud

Darlene Gifford September 25, 2014 at 8:55 PM Jan, you express the feelings of most of us here, A wonderful write, and I'm giving it a 7. Now on the subject of comments and rating a poem, I would like to share with you a comment I made after you read one of my poems today. You liked it and gave me a 7. And my response was "7's good. I'll take it."I was thinking, well 7 out of 10 isn't bad. But later,when I looked at the rating box to rate your poem, I saw that 7 was the very highest rating, and you gave that to me! Thank you so much! Jan Allison September 26, 2014 at 2:30 AM I wish it was rated out of 10 Darlene it would make more sense to me - i never give less than a 7 :-) hugs Jan xxx

Vera Duggan August 19, 2014 at 7:03 PM Go Jan, love the way you have written this, I really don't see how anyone could give you bad comments my friend, your poetry is so good, keep them coming, take care my dear friend.............Vera........... Jan Allison August 19, 2014 at 7:08 PM I've had a few really nasty derogatory ones Vera - thankfully the men who did them no longer seem to post here - they seem to get pleasure of leaving nasty comments - then withdrawing them - I never used to comment back. All good now though my friend:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Carolyn Devonshire August 19, 2014 at 2:15 AM Dear Jan, It takes a strong woman to ignore the hurtful comments. You'd think if you treated others well, they would do the same, but it's not always the case. I'm just glad that you are receiving positive input and enjoying the writing experience. As for the rumor that Brits have no humor, Jack Horne has already disproven that! Best wishes in his contest. Love, Carolyn Jan Allison August 19, 2014 at 3:05 AM Carolyn it's wonderful people like you who make my day when I get a comment - I admire your work so so much:-) Hugs jan xxx
