Paul Bell Date: 8/9/2023 3:02:00 AM I think there should be an electric shock if you read and don't comment. Wonder what the national grid thinks. Login to Reply

Brian Sambourne Date: 8/5/2023 6:50:00 PM Hi Jan, Much food for thought in your fine posting. I find it difficult to comment unless I've really found something creatively original in the poem submitted. However, I agree that the "chuckles poems" readily invite a response. Additionally, there seems a closed circle of friend-poets who've been on PS for many years. Tough to break thru that closure. Thank you for raising these intriguing insights. Best wishes, Brian Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/6/2023 10:57:00 AM I agree with what you say Brian, but I guess the more you comment hopefully the more you will receive backI find if a poet doesn't bother responding after i have commented a couple of times I give up and move on to someone who may reciprocate. Also I may read say 5 poems before I find one I feel i can comment about... but humour always hits the spot with me :-) xx

Richard D Seal Date: 8/5/2023 4:12:00 PM I tried to leave a one word comment but now it’s eleven, now twelve, no fourteen, does this commenting ever end? :) Take care, Richard Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 5:59:00 PM WOW.. would have sufficed Richard lol:-) hugs Jan xx

The Situation Date: 8/5/2023 1:01:00 PM Truth is I have to leave comments to get comments. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 1:50:00 PM Recently I made 55 comments in one day, I got about 9 back. the more actively we comment hopefully we will get them reciprocated but I know from my own life its easier said than done. I know i will never catch up on the backlog from when I stopped writing for 9 months, but I am trying to make up for it now:-) I would rather receive a 1 word comment than none at all:-) hugs jan xx

The Situation Date: 8/5/2023 1:00:00 PM Compleatly understandable. I see poems that should be stories- No comment. I have to search and find the real work of poetry. I see vocabulary savagely abused and misused more intelegent than romantic. It doesnt make me think it makes me regret that I wasted my time trying to stay awake. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 1:48:00 PM I tend to gravitate towards a theme that interests me or humourous poems which I know will make me giggle:-) It's amazing how a catchy title can pull you in to read! hugs Jan xx

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/5/2023 11:14:00 AM Hello Jan, I comment on poetry. I have noticed that most poems do not have comments at all. I find that sad. Hugs. /Darlene\ Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/5/2023 3:26:00 PM Hello Jan that is so sad. I do welcome new poets. Hugs. xx /Darlene\ Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:24:00 AM I have limited time recently but I do try and comment as much as I can. I recall when I joined the 'welcome mat' was laid out for every new poet, but that is no longer the case .hugs jan xx

Jerry Brotherton Date: 8/5/2023 7:12:00 AM Well said Jan. I do try to comment as much as time permits. Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a blessed day my friend. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:22:00 AM I've been back and active for about 3 1/2 months and am now at the top of the community page, What I've seen written by people who are hell bent on stirring the pot especially over recent weeks is beyond sad and to say I am appalled is an understatement. hugs Jan xx

Tania Kitchin Date: 8/5/2023 5:45:00 AM Jan, a great poem and so true! hugs Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:19:00 AM Thanks Tania:-) hugs Jan xx

John Lawless Date: 8/5/2023 5:07:00 AM Once again I am somehow "out of the loop" on the shenanigans. I write, I read, I comment, I post and even do a little "soup mail". Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:19:00 AM Thanks John, I am saddened by what I've seen hence the NO COMMENT poem:-( hugs jan xx

David Kavanagh Date: 8/5/2023 3:50:00 AM Mind if I comment Jan, I’ll just add,this one is brutally honest, making a complete mockery out of all the shenanigans going on here at the soup, brilliantly crafted, hope you’ve opened an eye or two today, or at least let people know you see through their bigger game plan picture, cheers David Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/5/2023 11:17:00 AM I have been truly appalled by the actions of some on recent blogs - I have met Victor on at least 4 occasions, to have his health issues detailed like it was a shopping list beggars belief and then to say he wouldn't mind it being posted is pure BS, and as for rumours of him being close to death .... makes you question why people do it. As for the other things - all true and witnessed since I returned. but hey ho who cares its only poetry soup

Lin Lane Date: 8/4/2023 4:53:00 PM Your points are all factual and valid, Jan. Hot and sour soup has never been to my liking, here or in a Chinese restaurant. Love the monkey. He needed to drop the mic after reading your lines. That’s my final comment. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/4/2023 4:59:00 PM LOL Lin, I try and be as supportive to other poets as I can , though at the moment I find the soup is quite putrid to taste, but this dragonfly can rise above negativity:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf Date: 8/4/2023 4:41:00 PM See poem... have keyboard... ~ W.C. (Will Comment) Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 8/4/2023 4:45:00 PM I agree GW, I comment as much as time allows, I understand why some have commenting turned off but, personally I like some sort of feedback, as for other issues on soup, sadly it is soured and tainted in recent days:-( hugs jan xx
