I love your poem AND your author's notes.
Haven't been asked to "fan" anyone, but if I ever am ... will just attach a copy of your poem. LOL
You express yourself so poetically when you are pissed. LOL
And, I might add, at all other times too.
Hugs, your fan, d LOL

Comment from Deniz22
At last! Permission to dump you! What a burden it's been, following each one of your works, agonizing over exactly the right words so you won't dump me first! Here I thought you were delicate, fragile china and it turns out you're as tough as a diner cup! (you know, those really thick, heavy ones that hardly hold any coffee)
This is tongue-in-cheek, as I don't fan you nor you me. I was just imagining how you might get a response like this and it got away from me. As to your "message"; does this mean you won't be fanning me? LOL Good job, really!

There, now it wasn't that hard was it? LMAO
I enjoyed my "virtual dumping"...thanks for keeping in the spirit of the write which WAS light hearted and just a quiet message for those who like to request rather than EARN fans.
LOVED your review...with a sense of humour like that I'll be having to check out your work. Haha...no promises of course. LOL
Seriously great review, thankyou and have a nice day.
Cheers P
Comment from Charlene0513
To closetpoetjester,
A very thought provoking poem with a lot of clout behind it.
I acknowledge that we all have fans but neither should the writer or fan be expected to follow each person that they select. Simply because their is a diverse manner of poems by each poet and the chance that they would be on Fan Story to just answer other poems and not be biased about their own is incomprehensible.

Thanks so much Charlene. You are right...diverse poems, diverse poets. Diverse taste. What you write, you don't necessarily like reading all the time...it IS nice to get a cross section of writers to read as it gives more scope for your own work.
Thanks again
Cheers P
Comment from Spitfire
LOL I periodically go through my fan list and delete all those who never review. I wish others would do the same. It looks as if I have almost 200 fans, but in all honesty, there's only 30 that I can count. Oh well, looks impressive on the profile sheet. Nice satire here with the mutual admiration society going forward at FS.

Indeed I think like minded people tend to follow each other but then again we all have diverse tastes too...so have the right to follow and review when ever we choose.
Thanks for a beaut review Shari.

Comment from Connie C
Hey, Sweetie, you've certainly earned me as a fan although I'm so behind at the moment and while I've read your last couple of postings and liked them, I haven't reviewed anyone's. I'll work on catching up. In the meantime, I gotta tell you I really like this sonnet-type poem of yours that tells it like it is. What I've found with a few folks is that they'll fan me, so I fan them back and start reviewing, only to realize later that they are not reviewing my stuff. So now I don't "fan back" until I've reviewed them and make a decision then. As always, you know what I love about your poetry is that it is so damn straightforward. Love it!

LOL Thanks Connie sweety pie and I KNOW you are the real deal. I admire your delightful poems as well and you know you are my fave lady here since we go back a bit. I understand the thing about the fan and then disappear but I simply won't be bought or pushed into bloody fanning some twat that thinks I'm on the take.
I read and comment on what I like as does the next bloke.
Yep, always so f*cking well straightforward...sometimes to my detriment but it balances out just nice the other way, seriously. Anyway, we should NEVER feel obliged no matter what...its the OTHER guy thats asking or expecting that has the problem.
Love, hugs and kisses to YOU
Hug for Bill today (but only cos he is an extended fan)
Thanks for sixing me up my friend. Always enjoy that...haha
Your friend always

You are most welcome and deserving of that sixer, Sweetie. I am going to send you a PM or email here in the next day or so with a concern I have. So watch for me, okay?

OKAY honey...
Comment from catch22
Amen! I agree with you 100% and if I fan someone, I never expect them to fan me back because I fanned them. You're dead right--we've got limited time and we can spend it how we decide, reading who and what we want. Being fanned is an honor, not a right. The poem read smoothly and although your rhyming scheme switched from abab in the first stanza to abba in the second and third stanzas, it did not detract from the flow of your words and message. Keep fighting the good fight:)

LOL Thanks for your support mate...it really is quite annoying when some either ASK or EXPECT...well I have NO problems telling them NO these days. Time is too short and I am OVER reading crap.

Comment from cvcopac
You've been busy so far this month,P. I forget it's not lazy spring-time there. A nice sonnet, good advice, but I'm a fan, loyal too. If you shit on a brick and posted it, I'd say--Wow, and plant an exceptional six star stick in it. But you've earned that too with talented writes like the one you've just posted. Sonnet form, rhythm and rhyme and true. One line in the third stanza challenges me though. I'm thinking around the second line there that reads awkward to me and maybe "It's who you read," rather than, "But who." Kenny

LOL Well funny you should say that K...I have a write coming about getting old and I WAS thinking of culling the line that said: "My colon has me shitting bricks"...think I'll keep it now, get that six star ready to stick somewhere. Haha
Always enjoy your reviews. Cheers P xo

Oh, now you're writing about old shits like me. I can't wait to see where you got us.

No, OLD shits like ME. LMAO
I guess once the even older shits read it, they'll feel positively archaic. LOL
You're ONLY as old as you feel K.

Thank you for that message! This was a very bold and a very clever poem I was pleasantly surprised as I read further along. I feel the same way about my Facebook page, too! It's always best to follow who and what moves you! :)

Many thanks. I still only have around 80 friends on Facebook, not that I'm ever there (too busy here) but the ones I have I actually DO know. LOl Cheers P and yep, its what floats your boat.
Comment from Rondeno
None-too-serious irregular sonnet dealing with the silly expectations of some users of this website. At least you reach the realisation that if you want fans, you have to earn their loyalty.

I started with that realisation and never waned.
This was written from the pov of the shallow fan who tries to demand his fans in return rather than earn them.
I've always been a loyal fan and an honest one.
