Tit For Tat- Poetry Soup Musings

Tit for tat, tit for that I read this, you read that Comment here, comment there Pats on backs, everywhere Some may read, but not post Acting much, like a ghost Some may post, but not care Just to say…”Good job there!” Be sincere, write what’s true If you don’t, shame on you!!! Don’t play nice, and just say “Good work here, all the way!” Yes, it’s good; be polite Words can be “Dynamite!” Blowing up self-esteem Crushing out someone’s dream Tit for tat, tit for tat Said my piece; how about that? It's not good? That’s OK! I’ll survive, anyway Least I got you to think Might have caused a big stink But we need to be REAL Yes, it is…A BIG DEAL! Beauty’s found everywhere As we all...our souls bare Loving posts we must trade And not give just a grade Just be nice; do think twice Or someone pays the price Broken hearts, broken dreams No one reads, so it seems Read them here, read them there Poems are......everywhere!!! Some from me, some from you I'll share love; how 'bout you? Eileen Manassian Ghali

Love your humorous honesty. Comments are a very big deal. Not always necessary but so appreciated especially when some in particular resonate or it's noticeable that we're improving. For me... It's just the definition of being a friend. You know I love you girl. Stay sweet as always. Hugs XOXOX

This is a somewhat happier version of "Great Write". To be honest, I'm never really sure what I should say. That's one of the main reasons I write.

You'd better!!!! Over coffee!!!! I've missed you.

Oh Eileen, I'm so sorry if you thought I was avoiding you my friend! I just overlooked you when I scanned quickly all of the poems in the 200 most recent poems! I know you commented but I usually don't go straight to a poem from that comment, I try to remember everyone and look up their poem within the list...from now on I will go straight to a poem from your comment just to make sure I find you! Again I am so sorry, I feel terrible, you have no idea how bad I feel! I want you to feel wanted!!

Oh, thank heavens!!!! We're good. Was wondering...Guess I'm just overly sensitive....Don't worry....I'm fine now....I was more worried if I had inadvertantly offended you. Thanks for clearing things up. All better now!

I'm not fond of generic compliments, either. Just wondering, in line 6, did you mean "quite" or "quiet"?
