Your Indigo Ink,Yes, You






              Your Indigo Ink, Yes, You




      “Great spirits have always encountered
        opposition from  medicore minds”
                        Albert Einstein


Your very best poems are about truth, goodness or
beauty!
Yet, ignored, over something... not only ghastly base,
but something mindlessly fruity.

Do not fret if they are ignored, move on and close 
the door.
If you are here to be loved and very popular, it 
shows in your poetry, which is mostly jocular.

Let others write exactly as they choose.
Get up, read a poet you like, by wearing your 
poetic soul shoes.

Why keep reading, only those at the top?
There are thousands rarely read, they are humans
after all, not floor mops!

Ah, those photos on that homepage are so very 
deceiving!
Poses of love and great beauty, and then come 
their vicious comments~ indeed  a very, dark soul
revealing.

Never mind mean cracks at your poems!
These are unloving poets staring at their 
contorted faux image.
Under their own cruel mind-domes!

Best we learn from one another.
Than to do all in our power, a good poet’s writ,
to ignore and smother.

Tell me, how great you must feel, when you turn
off your night light.
When some here really do choose to
make of another, a joke and a blight?

Better to support than do all in your power to
smother one another.
Than to prance about here, pretending others are
not your equals or poetry brothers.

Jealousy here? A purely teenage emotion!
It destroys friendships here, and creates a painful
commotion.

I cannot use his name, it would not be right,
But his humor is impressive, classical and a most
appreciated delight.

We have become trained to read what is at the top. It is like a newspaper when we read the top of the fold. This is a great reminder that there are so many poems at this site we should read as well.

I have followers I have not read, but tossing off nabt today. That’s what happens here. Love your comparison, it’s not they write better.,,just stay 24 hours on line with one line comments, anyone coukd hire someone to do that))). Andrea is one of the best here....not pig headed. Nor ever masquerades as a priest or a missionary or rabbinical scholar. Remember this is a poetry site mainly. But if folks want to just comment. That’s their thing. Pangie

Hello Panagiota, i am myself. I comment on poems I like and understand, poems that are not too long. If I do not like the poem i do not comment on it. Yes this does need a new poem. Hugs.

Hi Darlene, as in all families, craziness might happen. Helping each other to improve is fantastic! Help another get better. Be specific in comments. Do Not respond in cliches or neutral comments, I calt that, blowing smoke! Stop saying you like a poem when you do not! It is clearly done here. I am not faulting any poet. I object to the comments board. this is a poetry site not a comment site...is why. We all have lives to live. making commenting like homework. This needs anew poem)))) thank you for FAVING,,you and Joe to name a few, are really, best friends to me. Yes and do write...a writer has a passion for writing not for producing huge productions,,Being honest is key. Being you is a gift to others. Some hate that? I don’t get it. Let the good times roll! Pangie,,,

Good Day-be yours Prince! A learning from each other is great, forget who is best. Who has the most trophies, POTD’s worse, only read those with lots of followers. This is my opinion of course. I think like my Dad. “ Everyone should have a chance at greatness!” Cease trying to harm poets. I don’t have a pointed head! Groups, like Mafioso, set about to destroy another. I cannot be specific. How low can a Poet go? Do not participate in destruction. Glad you liked it... Hugs to you and Ila...Panagiota.
