Sock it to Me!
What does it take to get some reviews around here?
Does it take some serious debating or quite a few beer?
I get a bunch of hits on each and every poem I write,
But only my dear little faithful ones leave reviews on my site.
Do you just check-in at the site for something fun to do?
If you don’t like that one, try another, I‘ve got quite a few.
Why would you leave me without letting me know?
What you thought of the poem, you just simply go!
I know you were here because you leave your mark.
But I will keep on writing at my computer, I’ll start.
Until I find something that finally brings you delight.
Then you can sock it to me, so I can sleep tonight.
I can take condemnation I really can, I prove it everyday.
By putting my crazy thoughts out there, to hear what people say.
Oh sure,
I’d like to hear positive things but you can say the negative too.
I can take it, I really can, and I won’t take retribution on you.
I won’t even hang myself, for I’d value your honest critique.
I may get a violent headache and feel miserably weak.
But I can handle it; I promise you, I won’t get angry or sad.
So go ahead, sock it to me; just don’t leave and go away mad.
Written by,
Bonnie May

I know that I sometimes can't think of anything that doesn't sound trite, or other times I just want to relax and read as Connie said. In one of my reviews, I was told that it was the sixth time he had read the poem. It made me realize that I could have repeat readers over several days or even weeks. At least I hop that is the case! hee, hee...
At any rate, don't get down on yourself. We all love your sense of humor and your poetry!

Oh, yes, Bonnie, I often read poems without comment. I might be weary, and reading while I relax and wind down, too tired to think of words for a comment. Might be trying to "grab a few" poems when I only have a few minutes to spare. Might even be so moved by the poem that I can't find it in me to comment at the time. Sometimes I go back later and then comment.
Just stick to your goals in writing; keep your eyes on that desire within that drives your writing. Write for the pleasure of writing!
Don't stop!
Love,
Connie
Over 42000 is a respectable sum, but the ones that count are those that raise their heads to be counted, two and a half thousand of them, if you were a penguin winter couldn't touch you with so many around.
