The On-Line Poetry Game

I've taken the time to concentrate on poems I read that they highly rate, and how poems from poets believed to be great, are also the poems of those interacting like a mate. And I've noticed good poems get disqualified from competitions, and this is because they didn't put the host name on their submission. This is a very sad state of affairs, as you delete their name after this competition of theirs. People saying this poem has been done before, then writing Jesus poems..... Jesus how many times do they get repeated, two thousand years of poems on an individual, how on earth are these poems original, libraries full of these preaches, how is any of it new pieces. I find it funny, the lack of nun poems or the easter bunny, but Trump poems rain in piles like the Eiffel Tower, and most are vile and crummy. Poems on the internet are dictated by politics these days, it is not about you but the game you play, and everyone on-line is a player, it's just that not all know they're playing.

Nick, Your intuition is spot on. Even I get caught up in the game. But I keep reading because I know the beauty of life is never played out in a single rain storm, or moonlit night. It may take days or weeks, to find that one that touchs the soul. That is why I am here reading yours today. Amaze me. -Richard
