T’ was a lovely summer morn; I was feeling as fresh as dew I grabbed my cup of coffee and settled down to read a few Going down the list, favorites are always first choice So, down the list I scrolled, absorbing, and to each one gave voice Then I stalled.. glanced a title both interesting and mysterious Took a sip of my coffee as I became more curious Presuming it'd be fun to read; how it would compliment the weather So I settled in my comfy chair feeling light as a feather As I read the poem, once..and then again, I gave up feeling lost! Disconnected from the title, the stanzas were as frost! It ruined the warmth I felt, that would have matched the day Feeling robbed I was speechless, there was nothing to say As I turned the page with a click, I had a mind to vent Instead, I simply moved along not leaving a coment!

Very cool narrative-like poem. Sometimes I read something and become unexpectedly in awe... and by not leaving a comment I expect the author to feel like it wasn't that good. When in fact it's just the opposite... it left me speechless! But I know you're talking about "being offended"... I try to be open-minded about most things but it goes without saying you'll SOMEDAY find something which is appalling to your nature.

I rarely have been offended by any of the writes I have commented on. There are certain poems that I steer clear of for my own reasons. But I know where your coming from Audrey. You have captured a situation that many face on any writing site. Many congratulations on your most deserved win >> James :)

It happens to all, doesn't it? Such writes are either disturbing, way too high of expectations or simply a poem. And thank you for your gracious remarks on i..love you and thank you for your consideration and letting me the oppurtunity to be on the list...Regards..Rinki.

Good luck in the contest with one more reason not to comment on a work..I am glad that chose this one to read this afternoon..Thanks for visiting my work.."Intervened"...It was writtened in resonse to a song called "Intervene" performed by a Christian group...I just felt lead to write it..Once we accept Jesus as our Savior we realize that we were chained, bound , trapped, in a pit of despire..Sometimes people realize that before and that is the reason that they seek a Savior..Sara

This happens so often, Audrey. When I can't leave a positive comment or some constructive criticism after rereading a poem several times, I am compelled to move on. I ALWAYS get the meaning in your poetry! This is a great entry for the contest and I hope you find a way to break out of the blues, dear. Sometimes doing yardwork helps me. Love, Carolyn Soup mail in a moment.

Smile ~ Not all poes, poets or poetess' are going to be of One accord or view within many ways & for countless reasons thus, "Yes," sifting through the wheat so to speak to find the perfect mixture of poetic purpose is a must which need be met if, prosperities of something or another are to ever perhaps be born & or held....But, also, certain material is just ~ ....Cont:)

Very nicely written! I make it a point to only comment on poetry I like. Not that the poet or the poetry is bad, but each of us has our own distinct taste.

Hi Audrey Thanks for your comment on my work. Deborah Guzzi asked me to write something from Ireland in dialect. I love 'No Comment' as I often feel that way, being new writing. How different each of us find things that please us. You should send this to every member. Thanking you. Eamon
