Copy and Paste comments

Blog Posted:12/6/2020 6:16:00 PM

Just a few to make it soooooo much easier.(you don't even have to really read the poem)

1. WOW!!  Made me shiver

2. AWESOME!  Gave me goosebumps

3. (insert name) you are amazing, I don't know how you do it.

4.  I found this poem to be a revelation of the truth and beauty reverberating in the universe.  An amazingly uplifting write (insert name)

5. Ten [poems again today - I don't know how you do it.

6. What a rant!!  It encompassed the pain, anguish and rage that often smolders within the poet crying for release.

7. AH, the timpani of alliteratiion dancing daintily across the sonnetic sunset.

(((just having some fun))

As long as I am happy with what I've written then any comment is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. To be honest I wouldn't mind anyone pointing out something they didnt like as well about my work..as long as that bit was constructive ..and wasn't cut and pasted from somewhere else. :)

Today I held a door open for five or six people, the amount doesn't matter, one person said thank you, the rest passed through silently, I gave it no thought until now after reading your blog when I realized people are going to do what they do and for their own reasons, though one out of five or six isn't great odds at least one said thank you and for me that is enough, maybe I made their life easier by holding the door

LOL! Seriously, I'm not personally offended by copy/paste or short comments - like Constance and Greg said, at least they're taking time to leave a comment. However, I do tend to respond in kind; short and sweet to the shorter comments, more thought put into the more thoughtful comments.

John, thanks for the blog. I like all the copy and paste comments above and would be delighted to have any one of them on my poems, I could care less if someone copies and pastes comments, they took the time to do that ! I don't mind one word comments either, they took the time to do that. Did they read my poem ? Well, if they didn't that's their loss _Constance

I read a poem through , but really lost for words. I do look for imagery and flow, so that is all I might leave. Hmmm...

Please - copy and paste away! I'd take any of these over 100 hits and NO comments, (my average of late). Heck, I'm considering unblocking some people just to get a gripe - I'd take that over nothing, too, lol. ;o)

Remember Keith I still have the screen shots of you being a bully and a troll to the women here on the soup. Let's not try and forget that and stop playing the victim. It's really quite sad.
