Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Oops

I guess I shouldn't have opened up on here
my algorithms aren't what they were
I was warned not to do that but didn't adhere
I'll find my tribe I'm not giving up I prefer

I can compose as an outlet someone will respond
I've noticed similar writers are no longer on site
they must've been shunned due to correspond
and decided to no longer write

I skipped a day and didn't enter any poetry
in hopes to receive comments on my other stuff
I noticed people are getting that totally
it didn't work for me though that wasn't enough

I'm not asking for sympathy if that's what it seems
I don't determine things that way
I'm just writing my reflections to my own it deems
despite what others might say

Silent One November 13, 2020 at 3:37 AM Hi, I have some thoughts about this and will send you a soupmail.. The thing is that so many poems are posted, some poems slip of the list... So, people wont see them unless they visit your page. Angela Crabtree November 13, 2020 at 1:18 PM Thank you, Silent One. It was a lot different when I was on here before. I guess I need to learn the new ways of the world :)

Victor Buhagiar November 13, 2020 at 1:22 AM I wish I could write just to please myself. But not being read hurts. ~~ Angela Crabtree November 13, 2020 at 1:15 PM Thank you, Victor. It is a bit discouraging at times. Wishing you a great weekend :)

Pam Neil November 12, 2020 at 3:38 PM Very soft spoken way of speaking your mind in Poetry form! Congratulations on becoming a Premium Member also!

Akkina Downing November 12, 2020 at 3:27 PM I’m a busy lady, I write when I can but to be honest I spend more time reading you all poems. I get lost in them, swooning, crying, happy, sad, etc... I totally enjoy reading them. And I’ve learned quite a lot from one and all. And I know, Angela, you’re an amazing poetess... xoxo Angela Crabtree November 12, 2020 at 6:08 PM Thank you, Akkina, I love reading yours to :)
