Posting several of his own works the new kid is barely noticed and surely not recognized. Starting ealry in the day he posts 5 or 6 of his own personal writings in several rooms in hopes of replies, critiques, or even verbal slap downs for his idle banter printed in a loosely structured rhyming scheme. Now fairly late in the day, he has seen none of these, whilst others post two hours later, and have 20 responces 10 minutes after initially posting. He realizes this may be due to seniority and perhaps this is a favorite of the place, and even he has to post a reply because what he's just read did in fact blow him away. He's just looking for insight just hoping to touch the soul even lightly whisper something across the spirit or shed light on a subject just barely peaking from another conciousness. He desperately needs to know if all is in vain, if all he is is just another silly poet poseur on the verge of causing his pencils to persue mass suicide. Maybe impatient, maybe a little too wanting of another who can trully read what is written, who sees the meaning when logic has been knocked on its head and sent to the floor in a helpless crumpled mass. Sorry, just wanted to ***** cause no one was responding to my work. Thanks! (no replies necessary) PS. not that I'll get any!  |

Hi Bob, no your efforts are not in vain, be patient, the replies will come, sometimes it just takes a little time until you and your work become known to others. Check out some of your posts in The Corner Pub, there are some replies there, now. Also, post each poem only in one forum, the one you deem most appropriate for each poem. Posting a piece in more than one forum is against the guidelines. It is also advisable not to post too many back to back. Most people have limited time and can only read so many in one sitting. Perhaps that is why some of yours have gone unread so far. Welcome to Passions, I'm sure that you will love it here, as I do. Denise |

But, Sunshine - My understanding is that if he keeps his chin up, it will by definition be ungrounded - thereby causing his head to wobble even more than it already is... My suggestion would be simply to comment on others' poetry.. Become more visible - wobble about their posts - Let yourself be known - and above all.... My best ad-VICE - Keep your head screwed on securely at all times... Don't be bobbing around quite so much..."If you can keep your head - when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you..."  [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 05-15-2000).] |

Bob, m'friend... welcome to passions... i echo the others in that you will love it here... i think the 'problem' was that you posted several poems during mid-day when people were at work.... this is a much more populated/active posting board than the scroll ... but most people are 'here' in the evenings, not as many during the day... except for... maybe... the addicts... LOL hang in there, m'friend.. you are a fine writer and your work will be recognized.. i have no doubt in my mind... oh... and .. you might want to click the box that says to email you when you have a response.. i do that..just an idea... oh and also.. i agree with Nan.. make your presence known by responding to others... just as at the scroll.. they will get to know your name and respond to you because they remember your name and that you responded to them... thanks for meeting us in the alley.... write, post... it will be read... oh, and btw... i often get skipped over, too... oh well... life is short... some people skip dessert... hehe  |

Welcome! They all have a point here! I did a search today and see that you posted different poems in different forums, which is good! You did post one of the same poems in two different active forums though, and that we discourage. I saw and replied to your post in spiritual. You need to reply to others work as well. It kind of goes hand in hand. The more you reply to others work the better known you become, they get to know you through this. Pretty much how we communicate with each other is through our replies to one another. I did see you post poems in Spiritual, but I didn't see your replies to any of them. You will get the hang of things, and find that this place holds a lot of wonderful people! It's our home away from home. I hope you have a great time and enjoy yourself. I see your already taking advantage of the many forums we have here and that's GREAT! If you need any help or have questions, feel free to give me an email! |

Wow, I loved all these replies. (What was the question?)lol. I was just browsing and ran upon this and from the replies I have learned a lot. I think I post one poem in two separate forums once, (didn't know) and I discovered I may be a addict, ugh! If I remembered the question, I'm sure I would have yet another answer but these are great replies! I laughed at some and became wiser with others.......if I just remembered the question.... |

Wow, ok, where to begin?! *lol* First my apologies for posting same poems in different forums, again I blame this on the wobbling head! I promise to read and reply become known and soon be famous with riches and babes and big houses on secluded islands...wait, what, where am I? Anyhow thank you all so much for giving input, I value it very much, and to answer one question; PoetDevine, I chose this name because it, like me, is silly in nature and easily recognizable, also it is not an original name, it came from a comic book I thumbed through years ago, the name stuck, the book didn't! Again thank you all, and I already feel so welcomed! |

Oh Geez, guys, I think "Bob" is actually one of the Justin kids...and he will realize that once he really gets into the archives [Ron where are the archives...???] and digs around in some of the old stuff...I think he'll be one off the wall poet who might put some of our older, Wiser, Sillier guys to task! What say you? |

I agree, Sunshine! 'Bob' would fit right in with the Justin crew and judging from his wit would sure keep the 'Stute' jumping with excitement!  Denise |

I guess that I am Justin Thyme to tell ol' Wobbly it's no crime to post a zillion poems or five! It shows that you did just arrive. They have these silly rules, you know, and when you break them, they just go delete you fast right out this place! It's just a warning, Justin Kace you didn't read rules, instead they just might moderate your head! And then your Wobbly Head will say, "What did I do so wrong today?" It will fall off you on the floor then you will have more in store..! You see, this fact I can't refute... It's how I landed in the 'stute! I was a poet, just like you I'd write some poems and post them, too and then I wrote a word real small, four letters like you write on walls... well, anyway, it was quite weird, they warned me, then the worse I feared came true and Justin Thyme, I flipped and personalities soon ripped in two and four and maybe ten, and guess what happened to me, then? I got hauled off with men of white who took me fast into the night to some big sterile 'stute somewhere and zapped my head! They didn't care that I was wanting fast to leave! They zapped me twice! Would you believe? So if you think your Wobbly Head is wobbly now! See mine, instead and realize it could be worse. They took my head and then my purse! For every single zap they gave, I promised that I would behave! But then, my friend, they took my bread! So, hold on to your Wobbly Head! signed, Justin Thyme recent 'stute escapee [This message has been edited by Justin Thyme (edited 05-18-2000).] |

Justin Possible to think of me As someone you'd want to be In your club of lunacy I've got my own insanity I'm not Justin Other oddity Quite normal, in fact, you'll see Nothing strange 'bout eating tea Or enlightening convo' with my knee Justin MyShorts I walk around Once in a while I'll make a sound And the world I'm sure I will astound Whenever they open the padded walls I pound |

This is Justin Credible! So, you're Justin MyShorts? Hey, would you please get out of them? I need them for the courts! You see, my brother, Justin Sayne, is Justin Carcerated. And it would really pull his chain if while in court, he waited... for me, it's Justin Credible, to show up for the trial while I look through my drawers for shorts and you wear them in style!!! (Hey, wash 'em first, wouldja? Thanks) |
