A Thought to Consider by pome lover
Rhyming Poetry Contest contest entry

 

 

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!
