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. 2/29/16 Placed in the "Limerick for a Sensitive Community" Contest 3/14/16

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.

This is more re the lack of response I've gotten in other fora--not here. Way more interaction. A mi me gusta.

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
