Sonjalee:

I have recently received 2 #4's on two rather short poems.no feedback about how to make them better

We need to keep in mind that we, as reviewers, are obligated to give good, constructive feedback, not the poem was tooo short.

    adewpearl: nobody should ever give less than a five without a clear, specific explanation of what they found lacking and would like to see improved.

    vapros: Brooke, I know that you are the top reviewer here, and I wanna be just like you, but I feel that this attitude is responsible for the perpetuation of the default five-star review. It is the lowest grade permitted, where the reviewer can get away without saying 'Bless your heart!' In many cases, an honest critique might be a killing offense. Sorry about this.

    SueZen: NO WONDER poem Not Alone reached recognized statur !!! WOW, wonderfully expressed what it IS to live with Parkinson's disease, your body (temple) not 'obeying' to your needs, nervous system, etc....how hard to accept ! No complaining at all in poem either ! My father, including quite a few friends have it & it renders 'humble' how they all cope with,
    amazingly well & positively. You have the Power & Light within to go forth Sonja ! Wish you best of all, Love Sue xxx

Sonjalee:

I can't believe it, I have another fan. Is this some kind of joke!!!?? I have been wondering why no one is interested in being a fan. I have not had one fan for the whole time I have been posting poems and reviewing them-it took three years. I am dumbfouded.
And happpy. Thanks to my three new fans. We will join together and help one another if you want.

    redrider6612: If you promote your works, you will pick up fans. Also, being an active reviewer who gives good advice on how to improve will garner fans.
    July 3, 2011 at 9:03AM
    Sonjalee: Hey , thank you. and Happy 4th
    July 3, 2011 at 10:13AM

    July 3, 2011 at 10:38AM
    redrider6612: Yes, Shelley, but you're one-of-a-kind. Doesn't work for most people.

Sonjalee:

Thankyou adewpearl for a fine explanation. I think I will start doing recip.reviews. I would like to learn to give good reviews. Actually i like doing them but I seem to run out of comments to make.
Thank you again.

Sonjalee:

I am still trying to figure this out. When I write here, does everyone see it or just peoople who sign into my profile. How do I ssend it to everyone?
Is the only way people see your poems is if they are being promoted?

April 26, 2011 at 1:08PM
    adewpearl: After you first post, your poems appear in Up Next reviewing until you get two reviews, which the site will provide a pay out for. Then, if you purchase no certificate, most people will not see your poem unless they access your portfolio. I access people's portfolios in order to reciprocate reviews, so if you review me, I go into your portfolio to find something of yours to review. There are some other writers who also reciprocate reviews. Another way to get your work seen without promoting it is to enter it into an appropriate contest, and then people can access it through the contest page. You will have to pay to enter daily prompts and member-sponsored contests that have a voting booth, but usually not as much as it costs to buy a certificate.
    April 26, 2011 at 1:34PM
    adewpearl: Also, if you have fans following your work, they will be notified whenever you post.
    April 26, 2011 at 1:35PM
    redrider6612: There is a section of the forums labeled "Profile Thoughts" where the last 20 or so comments posted on people's profiles can be read. You can find the forums under "Profile" in the lista across the top next to "Info"

This is a new web sight for me and I have had some problems understaning a lot of it. I am learning, though.
Poetry seems to just come to me until I try to make it good,HA! Anyway I am having fun and I am learning a lot.
I wanted to let everybody know what I think of the writers and reviewers.
YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND SO SUPPORTIVE. You seem like a wonderful group of people.
I am trying my best to give good, honest reviews. Many times I do not have the magic wand to make it better. The skill and creativity of the writers are excellent.
I feel proud being part of this.
Thanks,
Sonjalee
