This is a light hearted dedication to BRN for all his reviews
I hope I'm not being unfair but it just how it seems to me
Thanks Brian
While reading poems I have got An opinion poets are a funny lot Their poems are put out for all to see But they seldom return the courtesy Of reviewing another colleagues work This seems a job they’d rather shirk When you’ve read the review you’ve been sent It’s nice to return the compliment

Gee gosh Ma'am
Written by BrianRobertNeal (1195 comments posted) 4th May 2006 | Poets are the worst on all the web-sites I have been on, for reading and reviewing other people's work.
I once wrote a Poem about it, that went along these lines:
"Creative people, such as you and me,
Have this fault I glimpse, but cant clearly see.
Consumed by the desire to express through word.
Once thought through and finally written.
There is an aching desire to be heard,
That is far greater than any wish to listen."
I am very flattered but as much of the pleasure from being on this site is gained through reading the works and ideas of others as it is from getting their response to your work.

Ooops here he comes, I better get back in my box,
PS-I think you're great BBS ,don't waste yourself on BRN.

Nice poems, both of you.
Love to read something that pokes fun at the lot of us.
Wit and rhyme!
Well done!

Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3590 comments posted) 5th May 2006 | OK good people you have proved me wrong I am happy to admit it
BBS | You say you don't do poems...
Written by Espiral (44 comments posted) 15th May 2006 | ...but this is a good start! Decent rhymes and nice and short. I completely agree - it seems to be us non-poets that review far more than 'real' poets. Though there are far more poems posted per minute than short stories, a lot to keep up with.  |
Written by Nance (86 comments posted) 14th June 2006 | Hi,
I completely agree with you, and fully support this position.
You touched the interesting topic, and I truly regret nobody has thought of this before.
I think people who drive a pen are likely to meditate upon this.
Thasnk you for your wonderful poem, charming about its meaning, and perfectly constructed.
Best Wishes,
Nance. |
