Com'on folks!...

Everyone gets upset that they don't get critique and comments, but no one wants to reciprocate. Even if you are a newbie, you should make an effort to at least comment and let the author know that some one has read their work. Who wants to stick around and post; when there is no interaction. If no one cared about it, then everyone would just sit home and write for themselves! We have had this discussion many times over the years, and things improve for a while, but... after a week or so, things go back to the way that it was! Then there are the people that say that they will do better and critique and comment more and that is the last that you hear from them until the next time they post! ~Geezer.

Comments

Perhaps we could have a concept of registering how many people read a poem, rather than just registering critiques comments etc. I am one of those who read quite a lot but don't always comment Sorry, I'm not up to speed with the technical side of computers so I may be talking nonsense.

One of the issues for me seems to be that critique happens sometimes but its hard to then follow through with any dialogue. Often the poems are reasonable and there isnt much to say or the one comments but there is no discussion. Maybe the poet is peed off at the comment or they are not interested.
Could we have a feature where we starred a really good poem so it could be showcased rather than just going down the thread. Have a poem of the week..

By the way I found your blog post by accident how do we see peoples blogs?

to a couple of people, but I can never remember how it works! I think that it should be easier.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
