I thought I would pass on some tips to help you get the most out of your posting on here. - To get people to read your poems it helps to get yourself 'out' there. By that I mean the more poems you read of others and comment on the more will return the gesture. (It is considered rude to not return a comment on a poem of someone who has commented on your poem) - I like to read 2 or 3 of someone elses poems and usually choose a latest poem and then an older one to comment on. - have a go at a contest. Most are usually fun and a great way to get noticed, if you win or are placed you will get lots of attention to your poem. - sometimes it is ok to 'advertise' a poem or suggest. When you read a persons poem and have a similiar topic poem some people will add that to a comment they make about the poem they read....... you may be interested in a similiar poem of mine 'blah, blah, blah' some people may even let someone know they have posted a new poem via a soupmail to a friend. - a great way to start is to comment on new poems posted in the new poems section (to the left) the more you comment on the more are usually returned - Good Luck and welcome I hope these tips help you get the most out of your new membership. -- Live with true zest: let love draw near; Let joy move fest, let peace greet cheer; Love sparks the best, right now and here.
