Hi Jim
This is a humorous view of what we do at fanstory. Not all people are pulled in by the poems on the home screen which give the most member dollars (bribe). I have been known to review poems with only 2 member cents, as I am doing here. Honesty in reviews is what we all need to become better writers.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.

Ha! Ha! yes, sometimes reviewing is hard, and sometimes when I review I ask questions in hope of a better understanding, low and behold the author does not respond, an excellent 3 line poem, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

This is a great 3 line poem. It is short, but the words speak at a loud volume. They pretty much tell a truth that no one wants to admit.
Well done and good luck in the contest

Your poem feels sharp. You made me think about how much we all want real feedback - not just flattery. I thought this was very creative and you say a lot with just three lines!

Comment from Tim Margetts
This little jab has sharp teeth - and it grins while it bites. The first line, "a bribe pulled you in," is a knowing wink at the site's reward mechanics, and the tone is clear: amused, a bit jaded, and not entirely unjustified.
The second line shifts from accusation to process: "words count so you tot them up" - mechanical, almost pitiful in its honesty. It's both a description and a critique, delivered in plain language that mimics the very kind of transactional reviewing it skewers.
The third line closes it neatly with a smirk: "an honest review." It's unclear whether this is what was offered or what's being questioned - and that ambiguity is the poem's quiet strength.
This is poetry with a raised eyebrow. Minimalist, pointed, and quietly damning - poetic justice indeed.
