Any Comments?

By liquid_emotion

Why do people tell me to “keep writing”
As if I might stop without their enlightening
Why do I always get the generic caring
Like awesome, cool and thank you for sharing
If originality came in a can
I’d buy a couple cases and send it like spam
Wham, bam, and thank you, ma’am
I love getting comments, don’t hear me wrong
I just want some honesty thrown in along
I wanna hear I suck if that’s what you’re thinking
But then tell me why instead of leaving me freaking
I love it when people think my poems’ great
But seeing ‘great!’ all alone is just what I hate
And yes, I know I do the same thing
It’s just when I do it has a nice ring

I think most of the regulars here think the same way. This piece would make a good introduction to the site. Thanks for giving us all something to relate to.

A former member wrote: HAH! Glad someone agrees with me. I posted a poem about a year and a half ago with this notion in mind, perhaps I'll have to repost it. Well done, exactly where I was coming from when I wrote mine. Exactly. -SP

"Keep writing" has been my moniker since I joined this site. Now I am going to have to change it to "Have a nice day" And that disturbs me, *shudders*. Have a nice day, hmmm, just doesn't feel the same, S.

hey, I completely agree. barely anyone leaves actual comments anymore. but when they do its wonderful. obviously this poem was brought on by some frustration and I don't blame you for it....~gothic~
A former member wrote: Yeah at least put what you got out of it..some thought into it..what I really look for is a critique good or bad..but some proof that they read it..and it was moving or something..

Great poem, keep writing, ;)
A former member wrote: Holy carp. I do this all the time and I usually just say "great poem" or "keep writing" but I am just trying to get my number bigger. I usually write more on poems that move me. Like this one. Yay.
A former member wrote: you crack me up... i try to vary my comments, but i prolly get stale too. thanks for a wakeup slap
