I would like to say to everyone on Neopoet are great writers. I read all I can and you ALL
have great talents. I know I haven't commented on everyone and I am sorry for that. I will try to comment the best I can. Please forgive me for my delinquency. I appreciate everyone on Neopoet. Thank you for helping me to be a better poet. Read you ALL later.

but some people can't write for shit. But that doesn't mean we can't help and encourage them. I could name some names that when they first came to Neopoet wrote the most appalling sentimental trash but by listening and learning have become truly fine poets.

On the other hand, some still do! Ah well, we can only try.

If you are concerned about giving feedback there is a blog in progress
"How to critique"

My biggest concern for you is not your poetry, which is excellent, but that you don't seem to give personal replies to the people who give you comments, your replies read like templates. May I suggest you consider this? They have given you their consideration and thoughts and specific replies would be, at least, polite.

cheers,

I truly appreciate what you have said to me. I have been replying now, more than I have ever done.
It is also hard to do them all. You know what I mean. I thank you for your inspiration and comment.
I will do my best to comment on more poets. Thank you again for your input very much.

Friends,

Pixee
