Poetry..Not Popularity

I’m kinda disappointed ,which frankly is a shame,
but from my own experience  I’m not sure who’s to blame
I joined a few more poetry sites to hope to write some inks,
that other poets reading, might  then tell me what they think.
Of course it isn’t possible to read each single one
but when you do, you let the writer know how they have done.
But on some other well known sites what happens makes me sad,
‘cause clearly other poets are not interested  a tad
in how good, bad  or otherwise  a poem might well be,
they say quite bluntly ‘there’s my comment now  you must read me’
They only  ever comment for  a vote to increase their status,
they haven’t read a single word and neither love nor hate us
Their comments they will copy and paste and post them on the site
and hope that no one realises their plan has come to light.
So if a comment I’ve  received requires a ‘tit for tat’
I’ll never read that poem and quite honestly ‘that’s that!
The reason I love Cosmo is very clear to me
We have what I regard as, a  great community.
Some guys are able to read loads  and I wish I could too
But sometimes there just no time left after all I have to do,
but be assured when comments come ,they all come from the heart .
I would be oh so sad to see this ‘blackmail ‘tactic start
to infiltrate our lovely site, so please new poets take heed
don’t do this’ tit for tat ‘thing just write stuff we want to read!
