Seeking Flattery of the Crowd

Like a deadly drug, it makes us dance Put our nose in the air, turn our backs . Craven souls, want another chance. Walking over friends, we call hacks? On, yes we sign, love, but mean it not! How many trophies can I win ~ I want! More flattery, please, as we do begin, On this racetrack of pride,self loved sin! Classical poets here, very despised. Only new poetry forms have a place. We want only our names in the skies. Self-aggrandizement, a sad disgrace. 4/19/2023

There are plenty of human beings who play..The I will scratch your back, but only if you scratch mine in return.is played big time here at PS. I comment to people who never read me, too.you bet…I won’t comment if I know, they think comments are a tennis match or homework they must do. And nobody with inner soul, needs to be at PS all day….go do some good in the world,,,volunteer, Visit neighbors…take a walk in the woods…we all know there’s more to life than invisible online friends,and swimming in compliments. Comments do not mean we are great poets. Hugs, Pangie o

Be true to oneself that is your motto and it works. Keep working on your creative poetry.

It costs to be oneself,, Elena. Hard for me to be pryentious, it woukd be easier to please the crowd and sell my soul. But~ for me that empty life, Selling your soul is not worth it, I awont be a clown either, thanks Pangie.
