Your cause is strong and true
Ok, we don't want to bore people
But surely there's something we can do
I know nothing's really changed yet
In fact I think it's getting worse
Why don't people comment?
When I'm sure they enjoyed our verse
But maybe a step back would be better
I know I don't like being told what to do
So like one poet said let's be grateful
At least we're getting read, that's true
It still bothers me when there's no comments
I feel I'm not worthy of them
I'm sure that that's not the case though
I will continue to write my poems. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 258 [topic] => 43 [informant] => AliB [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

exactly what redwest802 said. You write for yourself not for others, well I do, its mainly escapism. But yes people should comment, it makes us all feel better knowing that someone appreciates our poetry.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
