Best Comment Poems

What?  No Comment?


I read your latest poem today
     But did not leave a comment
I don’t know what you meant to say
     Couldn’t decode your intent

I wanted to be supportive
     And offer encouragement

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...

I write unto the blank papers stare

A ball point pen in hand without a flare

The words enscribed should be a future quote

As I am the best or at least so you denote



I listen to your comments out loud

And damn you make me feel so proud

I...

She is always there with a comment
Never a negative word passes her pen
Doubt whether she has heard of the people
A comment gives them a boost , to write again

Has a habit of blogging with animation
If I knew how to do it would try
Have a few...

No need to comment

No need to comment,
I’m still gonna write
Wishing good morning
and saying good night

Penning these poems,
hoping to share
Whether you read them,
whether you care

For I am a writer,
though not very good
I’d do much better
if only I could

But this is the best,
it’s all I can do
When...

peu à peu comme une rose 
quand vient l’automne
je t’ai vu faner
devant moi tout lentement

je n’aurais pas cru
voir éclore entre nous un amour si serein
garni d’un parfum plus divin

tu m’as offert l’intimité comme un trésor
que l’on offre sans rien à cacher
d’un cœur innocent

cette proximité restera...

I recall a superb comment when

I first posted a poem here, but then

what dismay! I could see

beneath most poetry

that same comment again and again!

Lonely poems sitting

isolated- Something
like real life. 
Poems read secretly
in silence..Not even
to say

Hi: I read your poem

today or:Kilroy was
here.
Lonely
poems..sitting on
a site read
incognito.

Snob asks "what is
the form"?
I am just miniature 
I just like to write
I don't teach
literature.

When poets fail 
to acknowledge
poetry
that could befriend 
them,it is a sad
state.
No...

A lovely comment I received
I treated it as fun
Surmised I was a girl from the east
With attributes per sun

Thought I might have been
delicate and womanly
As though I am not, for sure
I wonder if she thinks that I'm
A great big boring Boar

I know when she reads...

When Donald Trump rants
or a drunk pulls down his wet pants

Mike Pompeo runs his detention camps
in Gods name of course

When the Fox
Is wiser than the hen

One day Freddie
will boil in mercury

never to come back
from the dead

Queens will have their say
Pushing the bully over to the...

I would rather spend a dollar commenting
than waste a half-dime on replies (SORRY!!);
I would rather say how good yours is
than thank you for applauding mine.
I do like remarks, genuine;
obligations, please do not maintain--
feel free, not painfully constrained.
Sharing thoughts that stimulate
massages both our brains.

I may not be happy
with the way things are,
I may express dissatisfaction
In my local bar,
But I refuse to burn down
my street in extreme reaction
to some civil distraction--
seems to me somewhat bizarre.
I must take care of business
in my own neighborhood,
Being no part of any fringe faction.
Give...
