I write this now free of hand,Β 
An attempt to see and understand,Β 
Of how this site comes to pass,Β 
How does it work, I have to ask?Β 

Every poet in their own right,Β 
Spews their thought for open sight,Β 
And yet hundreds of views and no like of sort,Β 
No critical comment, no passing thought.Β 

We are all together and strive to be,Β 
All that we can and more than we see,Β 
We're all in unity, our love to write,Β 
Let us come together & amend this site.Β 

Please read and if it's not to your taste,
Please leave a comment not in haste,Β 
But to encourage, support, be all that we can,Β 
Our voice is important, woman and man.Β 

It is not about the few but the many!Β

Well said, Simon!Β  If only more people could be bothered to click the likes or stars or leave a comment. It is always appreciated. And wouldn't it also be nice if those who do get a comment could actually reply with a thank you. Most do of course, and occasionally a comment may get missed, I get that ...but when no comments are ever acknowledged...not ever...well, it makes me not want to bother leaving another one. Oops!Β  Have I said too much? ? x

Lol thank you, i just needed to get it off my chest.Β  The five stars are there, doesn't mean you have to give the full five stars if any.Β  Were all together doing something we love and i cannot comprehend that out of hundreds of views, only few like, its enough sometimes to make us question our own work.Β  Especially for those who are struggling.Β  I saw an example the other day, someone wrote about their mother who had passed, it had hundreds of views and no comment, like etc, by the time i had discovered it and commented he deleted his account.Β

Oh that's sad...I never saw that one. I would've remembered that one. There are lots of work on here like that. If I read and like what I read i do tend to leave a comment but sometimes I just like and star etc. There are some pieces I start to read but just cannot finish..I don't do anything about those ...I just move on x

Excellent write Simon. I've only been on this site over a month and read as much as I can when I can and leave comments. There is exceptional writers on here, you included and I see what you mean when not all people comment or like, when I first joined the site, both you and poetess highlighted this to me.Β 
Keep writing Simon!! I am a fan Px ??

Brilliant write Simon. I too wonder why so many poetic gems have no votes and others, well, others have loads and sometimes undeserved. I can only conclude that most of us read only what is right in front of us at any given moment and therefore loads of excellent work gets missed. I think it's a time thing also ..I try to scroll through when I can but I also have loads of work with no comments, I can't say unread cos apparently 7000 invisible people have...lol. Ultimately though the pleasure is in the writing itself for me, sod the votes, keep writing Simon, I will keep an eye out for your work ..hugs ?
