Notes About The Poem

Expectations always will always

let you down...

No Comment

Lonely poems sitting

isolated- Something
like real life. 
Poems read secretly
in silence..Not even
to say

Hi: I read your poem

today or:Kilroy was
here.
Lonely
poems..sitting on
a site read
incognito.

Snob asks "what is
the form"?
I am just miniature 
I just like to write
I don't teach
literature.

When poets fail 
to acknowledge
poetry
that could befriend 
them,it is a sad
state.
No hope for the
larger
society.

I will find a
happier home 
for my poems one day
where people will
cheer
my poetry and say,
"hey
way to go" I like
the flow.

I loved the way you
fueled your word
play
and your poem has 
made my day. Maybe 
I will take them all
away
and put them in a
book.
Then charge you to
look;

Over five years I
remained
true to you,and no
gain
no refrain.Lonely is
the pain 
isolated poems,feel
defeat
When traffic is
flowing
and no one visits my
street. Or have they?

Hi Vicki. I know what you mean. I have a poem titled "Bad Rap" which is my most viewed poem but, last I looked, only one comment. I wrote it for fun and variety. I actually posted a comment long ago because it looked lonely also. Lol. I often wonder, when there are so many views but no comments, if the poem just doesn't elicit any emotions from the readers. I truly love that you wrote a great poem to call attention to this phenomenon. I will check out your other work. hugs.

Awww Debbie so kind of you.Poor little Poems of mine, some have sat here years,have had so many onlookers and no one to say hello - one poem had 900 visits and not one word left, I even found traces of other poets biting pieces of them off and using parts on other sites. Thank you so much. :-)

Like poems in a zoo people look and say nothing.One person said it is because I do not know forms- well if anyone reads my poem and knows the form in case I don't ,would it be okay to help me out by saying so.?I am a taking a course now. Thanks

well there is a comment now :) I did like the flow of your words and the strong emotional connection you make with the reader. You know the topic is a hard one for so many of us to face loneliness ... BIG hugs Light & Love [I'm often lonely]
