How To Get Poetic Blues

How to Get Poetic Blues We poets look in our mirrors admiring our backs! Yet feel so badly when it's comments we lack! Who knows why people do not comment or few? I can't understand it and anyway, what's it to you? Be the giver, not striving to be the one who gets. You can write! You are a poet. Don't down yourself...by lack of comments get beset. I know perfectly what a gigantic downer this is! I get my poetic head all knotted up in a fizz. I get these terrible moments to wanting to quit. Let others comment where they choose. If not, you will suffer a bad case, of lack of commenters blues! August 6, 2019 2:30pm PST =

G'day Panagiota … I've found out it's a lot of hard work to receive comments initially, but keep reading and commenting on other poets work is a must. There's too many poets on this great site to attempt to take but not give. I really enjoy the communication from poets all over the world now - I wholeheartedly agree with your verse - Lindsay

I do agree! See Top Community Commenters.. I am high on the list. I have learned to stop commenting to those who never comment back.. Check my Poetry..I respond to all. Many never do. I agree too many takers.but I love my time here. Never mind them. I too enjoy two way communication. Hugs Panagiota I am adding you to my to follow list.

Some days you get quite a few other days the cupboard is bare. Maybe they should not have a comments box, solved lol. Tom

My friend, you are too wise! I can see why some block all comments. Kind of reminds me of fishing! You put out the best bait. Alas, no bites.-)) Panagiota

Oh, those 'lack of commenters blues.' Sounds like America's next big hit. LOL. It is a great phrase, actually... And I, for one, am beset by those blues, so this poem resonates with me. :) gw

Oh, Lord. You are right..a new hit. This emotion does hit far poets more than I thought. Nice to know I am not alone. I appreciate your honesty! PR

"I can't understand it and anyway, what's it to you?" - hilarious, almost arrogant way of saying "butt out of my business." Sweet!

Caren ... I only wish I was arrogant.-)) if so, I would never write a poem like this. The line just fit and has nothing to do with how I am personally. The poem lifted me out of a unique mood...,PR
