Lots of people have read my poems, I can see that from the ‘stats’ Lots of them have given scores too, But one thing drives me bats! If they take the time to read them Take the time to score them, be it high or low, Why can’t they do a little review, That’s what I really want to know?

"this has been a problem here for sometime, use to be better but not a bunch. clever way you had of bringing it out but i fear little will change, but then, one never knows." -- curious.
"Isn't it ironic ! This is getting more reviews than my actual poetry !" -- John Roberts.
"john, a lot of poetry,I read , I don't understand . I comment on things I get but not on stuff I don't,if I relate to something and the author has made an attempt to comment on something I have writen,then I feel it is respectful to make the effort they have,I rarely score anyone's work as I have no idea on how I would base the scoring ,I don't know if this answers any of the questions you are asking but I thought I should give you my feedback,take care, and thanks for topic." -- fh, canada.
