The other day one of our fellow members sent me an email asking me how I got over 11000 reviews. These reviews are over a several year period and connected to over 2000 poems, so do the math. I never answered him back because I didn't know what to say. But I'll say this, if I was writing for reviews I'd probably be done left the den because I really don't get that many. Reviews are nice but writing for fun is better. I tell you what, go to one of the more popular poets site and count the almost 70 reviews for one poem then come back and count my 6 or 7, you'll see what I mean. Again I love reviews just like anyone else and would be thrilled if I could get about 30 reviews on one poem but that would be living in a fantasy, I'm a realist. Too cut the bull, I know I'm not well liked and really don't let it bother me. Like I said, I write for fun and too kill boredom, not really to please others or get a lot of reviews. Anyway one good review is worth a hundred to me. I have one poem that has gotten over 21000 views in less than three months because it's hooked up to the web, believe me it's not AD views. So goes my poem....


Poem Artwork

Stones and sticks,
and all other tricks,
wait a minute,
wait a minute,
its sticks and stones,
may break my bones.
Reviews or no reviews,
my brain never chews.
Neither do I fret,
if no reviews I get.


But to keep on writing,
is very exciting,
regardless of the fighting.
Nothing like a good fight,
I'll tell them to go fly a kite.
Or maybe something worse,
I might even curse.


Any way I know the deal,
and exactly how to feel,
even the negativity
gives me a thrill.
All the haters,
even other evil spectators,
I wish you well,
you're the reason,
God has a hell.
Wait a minute,
wait a minute,
that rhyme,
but it's not truly
feelings of mine.


I hope there's no hell,
and I wish all well.
Even the haters,
and evil spectators.
Those that don't like
those that do like,
Hope none of us
don't psych.

One

Well...you've summed it up in a few lines and said it well my friend...I like you enjoy reviews, but that is not my purpose or my goal...I have written and scribbled poetry since I can remember, at home as a teen, in biology class, probably on the bathroom wall in high school (Yeah, I had a mischievous side) I have written poetry on lunch breaks, for my students, friends, for my children, husband, mother, sister, and grandchildren, actually most of my family...I like you write for pleasure, and expression, and hopefully to help, enlighten, or encouragae others...You are a true delight to read my friend, always full of upbeat poetry. Write on!

Blessings from a friend,

Joyce Bowling

I love your attitude, Grady. When you say you are "not well-liked," I disagree and also I know that you cannot include me there. Thanks for this, for your honesty and I wish you much love and peace, friend.

i agree. it is not the number of reviews that count, it is on what the readers say. i do not mean to say that they are useless but they do help a lot in improving our craft.

go on man...keep up the good work.

Your a writer admit it! It's how we express ourselves and if our expression is a bit different all the better... :)

If we were writing for reviews, I doubt that any of us would feel we got the recognition we were looking for. I think most of us write because it is in us and we feel the need to put it out there for that one person who might need to read our words. If it is fame we seek, poetry is probably not a smart venue choice since it is form that is about a hundred years dead, but it is from the heart and for that, I feel it is always worth leaving it as a footprint for those who come here long after we are gone. People who go out of their way to discourage others don't deserve any reaction from us; ignoring their cutting comments is the best way to invalidate them. We will never please everyone, and sometimes we will please no one else, but if we please ourself, then it was worth the write.
Take care,
Sherry

Hi Grady:

I don't know what's going on in the den, and I don't know why you keep thinking that you are not well-liked in here. I, for one, like your poems, because they always carry a good message.

I might not have the chance to review everyone's work, including yours, but I certainly don't dislike anyone just for being here, like some others do. Everyone has the right to be here, especially when we all have to pay to be in here.

Pay no attention to the small people who are just envious of the words that you speak. Write your poetry to your heart's content, and be happy!!!!!!

Lots of love,
Sandie Angel :o)
