The Ignored Poet

 
POET IGNORED One must go on, though comments are rare. And grit one's teeth as a Grizzly Bear. If you are one of these,please be true to yourself. This site after all is called Poetry Soup, Not the Comments Shelf! Be patient, be kind, even though seeing few comments makes you cry. Your poetry is excellent, even though hundreds read you and leave you high and dry! Don't even try to play the comments game. Comments are not the road to success nor fame. Concentrate on being a poet! You will honor and write your very best, acwoledge you, and show it! 5/.1/2023

Greeting, Ann! Am grateful for your input on this one. Learning classical forms is a better road than playimg TAG COMMENT. Tis a dead end road ….One never broadens their knowledge. I meant every word I said. Great poetry appeals to the best in us. I do mean…best! Sleazy poetry does not. There are plenty entry of sleazy poetry ones available, pS is not one of them. Pangie

I suppose time is a factor in this, some like to just read spending time doing just that others with more time on their hands will do both I suppose. Tom

Choice matters in life..there are many factors. I am not into adulation. Add crummy typing..for ne to my phone take a long time. Then, as you know, I have a wind bag in my comments. Nonetheless, we all have our limitations and we also have a strengths… thank you Pangie .

I echo John Lawless' remarks below. The guy's a genius, methinks.

If it has been read then it has not been ignored...maybe not commented on....but as you said: "concentrate on being a poet!" Although, I must admit, like a plump cat I do enjoy bing stroked occasionally

Lawless…you make perfect sense. A genius! I see plenty with zero comments and few reads. I prefer a comment like yours that is meaningful, true and sensible. Stroke Stroke,purrs, Pangie
