Dang,I am glad they didn't put a cap on sixes any more, I didn't know! Keep writing, I think the key may be to see what it is people want to read. You have a fun and sarcastic way of writing which is fun. I think you will have more readers if you condense your stories a bit. :)

Thanks--there is still a cap--per footnote--the song of course is a spoof--I needed a hook for self-deprecation. Indeed--length is a turn-off for many regardless of pay--there are plenty of poems out there at 1.00+. Thanks for stopping by.

LOL!!! Hilarious when you think that there is NO WAY to stand out as everyone here seems to be an excellent poet and writer... hmmm. ;) ;) A fun offering that could be construed a number of ways depending on the viewpoint of the reader! ;) :) Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

The only stars that really shine bright, are those above our heads at night. Twinkle, twinkle, full of glee, North star wishes bring the hope of joyful happenings. Fanstory stars are merely a way to pigeon hole points. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Ah, poor thing, I have six left just for you! They are extra shiny, golden, and sparkling like no tomorrow. They asked to float to anyone name Elizabeth who wrote a song asking for them. It's you!

How ssssssweet of you Rebecca! I feel so guilty that you gave me a six for this song out of sympathy for my lament! I wrote this as a tongue-in-cheek spoof on our star-system with some self-deprecating humor tossed in (but, hey, I'm happy to accept the bonus).Thanks for the . Cheers. LIZ

I know your purpose for this writing but I was playing your game too. ha ha
Comment from judiverse
You did a great job with your takeoff on the song. I remember "Where Have All the Gone?" Thing is, our limit is six per week. I usually give mine out pretty quickly. I wish we had more than six, but that's the way it is. I don't think not receiving a six is a reflection on your work. It probably means that the reviewer is out of them. I don't get many sixes either, but that's the way things are. You've really got to make 'em smell the flowers if you want a six. judi

You're welcome. It was a great take-off on the song, which I remember well. judi
Comment from BethShelby
This is cute. For a moment I had some hope because I thought maybe you knew something I didn't know and the rules had changed and there was now no cap. Shame on ;you getting my hopes up.

I figured you might get some sixes out of that. Ask and might receive. LOL
Comment from RodG
It appears my sixes have gone to others, as you say, but I still enjoyed your poem and even sang it aloud as I love that old folk song. Good luck! Rod

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your 'new' lyrics fit the original well, Liz. I enjoyed reading your song. I agree. There should be no cap on sixes or at least give us 10 per week. I hear you loud and clear. Thanks for sharing.

The competition is so great on this site, Elizabeth, don't feel too badly.
I run out of them so quickly. Your song is a good one and if I had six-stars I'd give them to you. So you are receiving virtual stars.
