The Web Is Alive With the Sound of Indifference--Contest

There once was a poet named Tom
Whose exterior he tried to keep calm
But when verses he'd share
Got responses so rare
He’d rather they’d dropped the F-Bomb.

Interesting poem Tom. For me I always try to take my time a little and post meaningful comments ... I get more enjoyment out of poetry that way. I can understand your feeling of wanting passionate rage over indifference ... for me, your title says it all.

Tom: I don't think it is "Indifference" but the overall mass of information. I believe there are some 35,000 poets on this site alone. If you look at many of the other writers you will find few of them getting many comments except from a small group that know of their work. Keep up the good work. Fans are sometimes fickle. :o)oldbuck
