An Observation

To me it seems there has been less traffic on the Den of late. I sense that there are fewer people posting poems or that they are posting them less frequently. I’m wondering if it’s just me, or if anyone else has noticed that there seems to have been a drop off. Is is possible that it’s normal this time of year and I’ve just never noticed before?

 

AN OBSERVATION
 
Seems the traffic has lately slowed,
are there fewer people posting?
Maybe we’re all aging
and now days enjoy just coasting.
 
Could be my imagination?
Am I paying less attention?
Possible they’re finding other ways
to relieve their hyper-tension.
 
It seems for the last few months
fewer poems show up each day,
could it be we’re losing members
or have we just got less to say?
 
It’s only an observation,
nothing I’ve confirmed,
but if you have noticed too,
please share the news you’ve learned.

It might have a lot to do with time of year....at least it does for me.....I'm one of the guilty for not posting much these days...been really busy and not feeling especially inspired of late....I need some warm sunshine......

It seems many are in agreement [including myself] or we are all under the same paranoid delusion. I figured everyone was working on a new book or hibernating with the winter blah's...

I expected lots of leisure time once I retired but each day passes more quickly than the day before. The day ends and I haven't written a thing. :(

Seems everybody else have said it all regards this subject...I too have noticed less & less postings daily...alot of people are on Facebook and I think that that takes alot more time for most...I try to get posts up, but for some reason I find that I have lost "some" interest...e

When I look at the list of poets I've tracked over the years, most are no longer posting. There seems to be a lot of factors at play. Probably foremost is the failure to sell or get recognition for their book of poems. Many have left because they could no longer afford the cost of AD. Some have become too old, too ill, or died and therefore can no longer post. Some have been maligned or stalked and some of those doing the maligning have been booted out. The economy may have caused some to work more hours and cut expenses like AD. Finally, competing social networks like Facebook and everyone getting involved in texting on their cell phones have taken too much of peoples' time.

I must agree. Perhaps other social media is collecting a bigger share of time. Patrick

I have noticed too, Dick, and I miss those that are away ~
I too have been away doing all music and am just now reviving a deeply sleepy muse.
Blessings,
Christine

Nope, I feel the same way. I track quite a few poets, but there aren't very many posting.
