when the site frist started seldom was a poem left behind when it came to replies.it now seems that some are. and that some point the fact out. because of that i have a rant to expel. why is it that some just put their poems out their without giving a thought to the poetry of others and leaving a reply? i really try to answer as many new poems as i can. but to be honest i'm getting sick of writing 4 replies to a newb because i want to build the site up and they either fuck off without a thank you or simply stay and keep posting without joining in, in a way the site was intended to be used. those poems that get mentioned as to not having had any replies, they're the ones that suffer. penguin's poem about the queen is the poem in question, and he is one of those who actually does take an active part in the site, one of those that deserve a reply. my problem with the request of the poster who asked, why no replies? is just that, why no replies. i'd be fine if someone who littered the site with feedback (good or bad or wrong) like i do asked the question, it begs the question, how many poems have you, has anyone not answered?
at present i'm up to my eyes answering newbs who generally don't give a fuck. i have to ask; how many days weren't you here? where have you been when all these posts were going unanswered? then we we have rosa and luna c. they join they post their poetry and they take part (thanks girls
) i love it when it happens. but most don't and the few of us who do can't answer every post. so my question is that. why don't those who post three or four poems and reply only to posts on their own poetry, get off your bottoms and give some fuckin feedback, because when someone asks "why has this poem had no replies" i'm the twat that feels guilty and i shouldn't. it should be you. those who post poetry and don't give feedback, they're the reason why poems have no replies.
to those like rose love and luna c, this poem is in no way about you. it's about the leeches who join a site simply to feed off it before leaving.
i'm sorry if i've pissed any one off..(well i'm not really, i'm lying when i say i am but i feel obliged to) what do others think? what do some of those who post 3 to 10 poems and leave no reply think?
ps, this thread can be for any site rants about poetry here and anything connected with it.
on another note i read two posts in the what has poetry done for you thread. another place most newbs never visit. and i have to say the posts in question were excellent. whoever posted them should feel well pleased with themselves. prime examples of how to take part in a site like this.
