gatecrashing comments boxes:

inaction speaks louder than words ~ in fact it shouts to heaven above 
i don’t seek indoctrination ~ this dude knows what it’s like to feel love
stay in your own comments box ~ i have no agenda nor need a shove 
when putting digits inside someone else’s bubble ~ wear a latex glove

Well said, David. I haven’t experienced this to any great extent, but have received the odd ‘life lesson’ which simply sees me rolling my eyes and moving on with zero acknowledgement. So pleased to see you receive POTD with this. Congrats. Terry

Presuming we’re referencing the same person, David, I was, at one time, pretty sure he was A.I. Ha ha

Thanks Terry I’d already told him not to (butt in) on my personal comments boxes and chats with other poets , but of course Tommy was feeling insignificant and just went ahead and did it again the other day, and also left me strange reference numbers, knowing quite well I’m not religious, so I called him out, he got a good telling off here yesterday for his sins, but in the end I granted him a pardon, shame he deleted all his comments! But I have them screenshot for posterity lol! Cheers David

David, I sincerely like how inventive you are. Congratulations on being chosen as the POTD. It is important to be mindful of where we leave our comments, as they aren't always directed to the intended recipient. Thank you for initiating this thought-provoking discussion.

Thank you Lasaad, mindfulness is indeed the name of the game, jumping in and trying to hijack others personal comments boxes, is very rude and dismissive towards other poets privacy, i’m glad you liked the inventive nature of this one, cheers David

Unwelcome intrusions are NEVER well received. Non-believers were once called heretics & burned at the stake, and I prefer we don't fall back into that depravity. A trophy win from anyone will not serve to silence my opinions or dull my indignation. As the great bard put it--To thine own self be true. I also have no desire to be witnessed to. I too am searching for existential answers & don't want to feel obligated or suffocated by one-doctrine. Luv ya, a poet friend indeed. Congratulations David!

Thank you so much Anaya for such a reinforcing comment, yes indeed terrible atrocities have been carried out throughout history in the name of religion, I choose to be agnostic and search for existential answers, rather than unwanted or unasked for indoctrination, religi-bombing a personal conversation between two poets, after being told not to do it, is a form of persecution, more reminiscent of the inquisition years, we all know how that ended, not very good! you are very appreciated Anaya, cheers David

Congratulations on your POTD win. Words both good/bad have power to bless or to hurt. Four powerful lines. Saying good/nice words are the best thing or say nothing at all. Have a blessed day writing away.................

Heya Paula, I was having a lovely philosophical conversation with Dilly about the moon, when Tommy boy interjected with unwanted words and strange numbers, he was already told by me on a previous occasion not to engage in my personal comments, so I’m afraid he getting a good telling off now, for invasion of privacy, thank you so much, cheers David

Many congrats on POTD, like you I have no particular faith and to be honest I can't abide having religious quotes rammed by my throat especially by one who should be reading the bible and learning from it instead of bullying and belittling others then trying to look whiter than white - the irony isn't lost on many of us! hugs Jan xx

Congratulations on your POTD David. You didn't gatecrash on my comment. That was just another wrong comment by the 'serial deleter.' LOL I got a good laugh at that one. I hope you're on your way back to Milton Creek. It might need protecting.

Congratulations on this one being chosen as poem of the day, David. The dialogue on this poem from Yesterday exposes quite a lot. Maybe now more poets will see the black sheep for who he really is.

Indeed Lin certain interjectory issues and grandstanding must not be tolerated, it’s the simplest thing in the world to open a separate comments box, rather than try interfere with another poet’s thread, cheers David

Thank you Tom, indeed it had to be said, by all means comment away, but keep it in one’s own comment thread, unless invited into another, I never manufactured or expected this one to get POTD, but it is what it is, and always an honour, cheers David
