Like Ogden I dwell on llamas or lamas. Like Yeats I'm too too morose. My rhymes are more like Thomas And too little of the red red rose. \Like Shakespeare methinks too much; Like Dickinson I'm so so morbid And, of course, like Dylan a total lush And always much too torpid. \So like Coleridge's albatross An Thayer's Casey-at-the-bat I'll have to hope my thoughts will cross The grey matter just below your hat.

Hello Gary, you asked a question. How do i get so many reads. #1 Well I am loyal to any one on favorite poet list. #2 I think I can call myself one of the most popular poets here, and no! no! not because of my poetry. It's over all the support and feedback I offer. I love following all the contest winners and featured poems. I read, and comment many many poets work (even when i don't understand the poem.) I have many friends on the soup. I'm not selfish and I don't pass up poems. I love taking the time in making new poet friends. I also have a poetry fan base here that goes back 3 years. Basically I enjoy this place, and it is my playground. And like a kid ((wish I am not)) I love spreading the smiles. unless I'm feeling blue. *** Now I have a question for you! Do you like it here so far??? always~ LINDA

Yes I do like the site - it's nice to have all my poems in one place in case I want to go through with creating a chap book. Do you have one? Thanks to having more estrogen than most men have, I can commiserate with a woman's point of view more easily. And Poe is one of my faves too. Quoth the Raven. I will subscribe to a premium mem'ship when I've got $39 to spare.
