Invisible

No one ever comments on my poems.
Does anybody see them?
The view counter says yes, but I wonder 
Does anybody read them?

Maybe they are just rubbish,
Maybe they are no good.
Maybe I should stop posting,
I wonder if I should?

But then I need to ask myself
Who am I writing for?
A random bunch of strangers?
Who I aim to bore.

If no one sees my poems 
Written on a site.
Are they really poems?
Or just random thoughts I write?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

No, you are not invisible. I do like your question "if no one sees my poems...are they really poems?" I often wonder why a poet has 350 views on one poem, and I have only 50? The poems were posted about the same time. I question "am I doing something wrong?" Then I try to dismiss the thought because I write to please myself AND my momma likes them; it is a win-win. Keep writing, Be blessed, Chetta
