too many poets

Submitted by loved on Wed, 2013-06-12 20:57

hardly any readers
this site is going slow,
so many lie low
many don't know
where else to go

so in the embers
of a dying fire
we all want to search a glow
perhaps that was a
glow worm
no show…

Style / type: 
Free verse

How do you measure readers, you can only measure comments. I for one read and still enjoy far more poems than i make comment upon. Regards Roscoe...

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

That doesn't mean their not read, i read some of the undiscovered work. If i don't quite understand the poem i'd rather not comment, and they still remain in undiscovered. So as with other poems you can't quantify how often they're read. Regards Roscoe..

We have been down this road many times now.
How we write and not many answer or comment.
I am on a couple of sites and followers many.
I earn Money from the odd site, so feel great.

Neopoet is a hard task master and many are lazy.
Why half of them are here I am not sure.
We write we expect others to comment.

The worse thing is to comment and receive no reply.
This is shown by the Odd numbers on the right.
If the number is odd a reply has been missed.
If the odd number is a one the poet should get a grip.

Keep going young Bard and just write your own stuff
and to hell with the world, do what you are happy with
Life is too short, Yours Ian.T

PS:- this write was not up to your usual standard it seemed like
a moan better to shout more will hear you LOL

.
There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

The message was for you, so that you don't worry as you tend to about who reads and comments.
I would like to see more of your normal poetry with themes from where ever, and forms all over the place.
This will make a smile for me to swim in..
Take up a quill young Bard and earn your money, Yours ian.T
PS:- Do you send to Triond ???? if so where can I find your works ???
