Amen to that my friend, well put! xxx
Hands up! Guilty! ...but will take some inspiration from this and make more time in the future...well said Pal!
Dear Greg,
Spot on, brother!
It is one of the joys of my life to write poetic comments for other gifted poets on Cosmo. It is always so challenging to discover the pith of their intentions, and embellish on them. As you say, there is always something interesting that will strike a common chord while reading them.
Great write! Hope this wakes some of those indifferent people up.
Peace and Love,

Hi Greg. Ok, while I understand any frustrations some people may feel within a community, and they are perfectly entitled to express those frustrations , I believe a free community considers every voice, regardless of how often or loud they speak. Don't get me wrong, I do understand, but, i dont like the way it comes across I'm afraid.
When I put something out there to share, I do it without expectation, and I respect the fact that people are different. So some may never see it, some may, and not like it, and some maybe do. Whether or not, I don't expect someone I rate, to rate me back, or vice versa. And i believe that policing, or influencing free people is wrong!
My apologies in earnest, I mean no offence people. ☺

I do not offense on your opinion. We all have them. I am also not trying to police the site. I wrote this to encourage others to take the time to rate and comment on their fellow poet's work. I have a group of fellow poets that comment on my work which I am so grateful as it helps me grow as a poet. So I personally am good with the feedback I get. However I spent 2 to 3 hours rating everyone I could who's work yesterday was not rated nor commented on by other poets. One new poet had over 300 reads with no rating or comments and his poem was just incredible. How is that encouraging others? I think sometimes people don't rate or comment because they think it will hurt their chances in the contest. Really????
Actually this is not true. We are a community. If you take the time to read someone work, why not be nice enough to rate and give a word comment of encouragement?
Well this is just my feelings. I want to encourage everyone.
Do all poets write great poetry? Of course not, some need a lot of work, however I choose to give them 5 stars and encourage them anyway.
Hi Greg , I'm glad you took no offence by my thoughts, as I meant none! Like I said, I do understand your frustration, if some people don't like or comment, and you want to encourage this, and I don't disagree at all. It would be wonderful if every member could comment on everything they read etc, and every writer felt supported. Truth is, i just dont think that's always possible☺
Hi gregg
eventually got there lol yes I'm guilty to I'm gonna have a good read now
Spot on ????
