There’s something that I’d like to mention
that bothers me when it occurs,
It hurts when so many folks take time to “view,”
But can’t stop and say a few words.
It’s certainly their right to do so
But I bet they’d like it if they
Had a large group of people who looked at their work,
who stopped and had something to say.
I looked at a post I had entered;
61 people gave it a view.
Out of that number, some folks did respond,
But 13 reviews are too few.
Promoting is very important.
Critique and/or money’s the choice
Sometimes it’s hard climbing the ladder
To get a comment on your “voice.”
We’re all striving for recognition,
And comments that help us to grow,
A little encouragement goes a long way;
I’ve room for improvement, I know.
And so, if I may, I’ve a question:
Unless you are loath to review,
Would you maybe take a few minutes
to respond with a cool thought or two?
for
You could determine the future
Of a new Seuss or Kipling, who knows?
and you might be mentioned, on TV,
when I win a Nobel for my prose.
hey!
You KNOW I’m kidding!
but still … reviews help ;)
and would be most appreciated!
