Question

Blog Posted:5/29/2016 6:11:00 AM

PS friends:

My blogs, that also appear on FB & Wordpress, are written in such a way that a related poem is tied to it. They are written in "diary" form, but I've found that they may be of interest to others. "Being Mindful" is written, hopefully, so that the poem, and prose, are better understood and enjoyed. I also break out the poem separately and submit it under "Submit Poems."

This seems to be bothering one individual,...perhaps others who choose not to say anything. Anyway, I'm new here, and would like to continue in this format, but didn't want to break any rule(s) about blogging.

Andrea, you've been very helpful. I'd be interested in your take,...and others. Thanks for the assistance.

   - David

David, do exactly what you are doing, you are breaking no rules, just don't flood the page with blogs and all is good, one a day is perfectly fine, poetry on blogs is fine too, many poets do that, just go ahead ,whoever does not like it does not have to visit your blog. Constance

Oh, David, I am so sorry for the hounding! I personally see your one blog with a poem a day as very inspiriting and I'm sure that many here would enjoy the blog... I may even put up a kind "lookie here a new souper with an inspiring blog, blog" :) The only concern I'd had was the uploading (understandably you wanted to get them all on Soup! I get it!) Now? I not only do not see a single problem, but see your blogs as a nice meeting place for those who are seeking that kind of inspiration. So, I hope others stop by and give you the thumbs up... I support your blog(s) and wish you full success in spreading your wise messages... Cheers, Cyndi
