Convenient Friends

Who are these poets? Who stay up at all hours? Commenting to your poems? Don’t they have a life of their own? A husband...a lover ..perchance? The genuine closeness of two, Under the moon and stars? Or are they just.....lonely? Hungry for true relations? Selling out for empty, meaningless communications? The pretense..that they are your friends? How good is your poem? I really do not know.. I do not count the numbers who left meaningless, one word comments. It’s really up to therm to decide. And with others take a genuine poetic ride. But to peck out meaningless comments? Why? It’s so you will be noticed, won’t You? As some deep caring soul, might comment to you. A game of life, we do play too many hours a day. Whilst our real life, runs away! 2-16-22

Nice! -------- Lol, I'd actually prefer to receive constructive criticism, "did you think of this", etc, that helped one to improve one's craft, or "hey, you should check out this other form", etc. OTOH, I've actually had some pretty decent exchanges with a few folks here, and I've only been around about 2 weeks. Or, we could all jus take the view that having the thought is the important thing, and that writing it down is a sheer waste of time, and just go for a walk outside! take care!

Nick...I happen to agree with you. What’s wrong with pointing out things that work or do not? Nothing! We are only allowed here to be posititive?this helps nobody.our poems are not sacred tomes. There are some writers here who need help. Including, me! Why not say what does not work! I don’t mean being vicious! Some lines are terrible. You are new? Welcome. This is my second year.Mostly....MUST BE POSITIVE, You lucked out, Jeff.. Pangie
