This Had Better Fetch a Comment Or Two

A poem without a comment
          Like a nun without a convent

             All alone in the world
             Inadequacy unfurled

It's true to a fault my friend. We all need to know people are thinking about what we write. Comments are a great starting point. :-) A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Gershon…witty yet true! Unless one sits around all day commenting, we don’t get read. But I say adamantly:….. THE POEM..,IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. Unless one is a comment groupie,a poem may not be read, so? THIS IS NOT COMMENT SOUP)))) We keep writing anyway…do we not? That’s the real, true joy! Panagiota XXX

A poet lives with the dread - Their poems may not be read. - The poets heart would have bled - For what they’d thought was the best.. Belle

It is a sort of dread, isn't it, Belle. Thanks for the insight. Light and Levity, Gershon

A convent without a nun is a yet unwritten poem…..ha ha Gershon…..just had to play. Thanks for advocating for our poor orphan poems. SuZ.

It is sad !.... 'Like a nun without a convent' .... beautiful analogy !

Thanks, Valsa... Certainly more striking than a monk without monestary, methinks. :) gw
