So Will Appreciate

So Will Appreciate (SWAP) Could it be that my poems aren't charming And never receiving comments is alarming How they feel and think about each one I have now finished and is finally done. Certainly would be lying if I were to say Don't make comments in any form or way To yourself start keeping every thought For your attention my poems have fought. What in world must this message be saying? I did discover comments others are delaying Would they feel like having been in a big bind When first receiving comments that are mine. Swaps cannot be completed when only done by one side. SWAP stands for SO WILL APPRECIATE it when you will make a comment. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet RiverSea Plantation Bolivia, NC

Dear James, I know your pain, but the awful truth is, In order to receive, you need to give. It's not a mutual admiration society which is easy to assume, you pat my back and I'll pat yours, no not at all. The soup is a big place, new ones coming along all the time, It's tough to comment on the same poets twice. Time is our enemy, but I have found taking some time and commenting on other members poems provokes them to see what I've been up to, and if they like my work, will hopefully follow it
