Views Vs. Comments

I don't like violent poetry,
It's just not the style for me.
Usually I don't finish reading it
So a comment , the writer won't see.

I've had my share of angry thoughts
So I know what they're getting at
But angry words leave me speechless
So I just leave it at that.

If a poem to me seems like venting
I just move on to something new
But I understand it's cathartic,
Expressing their point of view.

I try to limit my comments
To the ones that I truly enjoy.
So if I don't really like it
I'd rather ignore it, than annoy.
