Trophies of My Heart To Poets




No, are not in any contest found.
It is your comments to my poetry,
that to my heart are bound.

No one comment is better than 
another.
For to me, when you comment,
you are automatically my sister
or my brother!

I see great poets here, lying dead
with sixty reads.
Does it take that long to comment 
and do a good deed?

What's the big hurry here?
Poets like having comments and
you can't write one comment of
good cheer?

A contest is definitely not for me.
I prefer friends who comment~
You are the best, loving trophies.

I cannot tell you how much it jump
starts my day!
It makes me so thankful, I shout,
with joy, hurray!

So, thank you, you trophies of my
heart!
Your names are all posted, and in
my soul, glowingly written and will 
never depart.

My dear fellow poet. I so like this poem.glad you see its message. I was surprised at so few reads..It's a compliment to poets. I see with your auspicious talent, you still make time to comment. Bless you for doing that.a true Poet has a soul. Otherwise, they are under a cloud, thinking any words on paper is a poem! Ridiculous. Thank you for FAV ing, soul- poet! Panagiota xx

For all its worth they should do away with them, as they seem to cause no end of problems, if you think your work is a gem thats enough. You shouldn't rely or indeed need others to tell you what you already know. Write on. Tom

You may have a point, there Tom. Definitely the comments board should come down ....it's nobody's business who comments the most. You can have a friend or relative fill in comments.who knows? I don't advocate for any competition at all. It blows up the entire reason to write a poem. Like puppies jumping for a treat? I just don't understand it. Pangie xx

A very perceptive observation you have made, Pangie. We need to support and encourage each other - Bob

Yes, it's an added plus. I was sad to see this poem had so few reads. It's one of my best. But if I had to depend on number of comments, I would have quit seven months ago.-)). Anyway, one has to get over such trivial matters. I see poets here regularly ignored. Things changed here since the virus hit... Pangie xx

Anne-Lise! I do agree with you. Your analogy is so apt. You are a nourisher here, and I will add an ......unselfish one. I know you don't read me to get points.))) I always know when poets do that..arg. Panagiota xx
