Whoops, I Forgot To Comment

Whoops, I forgot to comment
Upon that nice poem you wrote
Please don't take it personally
My reasons are many, take note

It's too long, I'm easily bored
It's not really what I expected
I though it might have rhymed a bit
So now I'm a little dejected

I've nothing special to say
When clearly others do
Perhaps I've missed the meaning
Or have a different point of view

Occasionally I'm just stuck for words
Stop laughing it's often true!
I've just run out of pleasantries
To pass on what is due

Your poem I'm sure is wonderful
I'm sorry I failed to say
How beautiful are, the visions you give
I'll tell you another day

There really are many reasons why people don't leave comments. Sometimes we start reading a poem and get interrupted. Other times, the poem just doesn't suit our taste. Long poems have to be done really well to hold our interest. And so many times I get the feelling that some of those who do comment didn't actually read the poem. This is a very good entry for an interesting contest! Good luck, Nick!

thankxxx Nick..its part of the contest .. u need to list a poem and poet that u are referring to ..HG put that in at the last minute... I leave comments on all poems so it was hard to create a poem for the contest that I had not left a comment on... I guess that is called stretching the creativity level..luv..

enjoyed your take on poetry, and responses to it, it is certainly to be expected not always to get the ''point'' or even some,however in a diffrent phase of life, it may be to the point, so better to have it out there. thank you for taking time to comment on my stuff.

Nick, I don't leave comments when I think I've missed the meaning of poems entirely. We can all relate to the feeling of being "stuck for words" when it comes to reacting to another poet's work. Your writing is clear and the message comes through very well. I think your poem will do well in HG's contest. Wishing you success, Carolyn
