****PLEASE RESPOND, COMMENTS WELCOME!!!!!!!!!*******

I went to the Poetry Forum
to write verse and then read some, en masse.
But the forum decorum
had titles to lure 'em --
decorum was lacking some class!

Some writers, you see
(excuse me, not me!)
had titles that went on for days!
They stated they wanted
responses, then flaunted
their need for attention and praise!

I hung out for several more minutes.
And more poems were added in sync!
Some said, "Comments PLEASE!"
and begged on their knees
for responses when clicking the link.

I *DO* love the Poetry Forum!
I tell you, I love it! I do!
But why would the author
take time and take bother
to tell me what I'm s'posed to do?

When posting a poem at the Forum,
it seems quite apparent to me,
that comments are welcome,
you don't have to tell them
to respond to your poetry, too!

Just posting poems here on the web
is inviting responses, you see!
Replies will be stated--
but titles inflated
by BEGGING won't get one from ME!


hehehe

Justin....I have seen this complaint by several moderators as well as members. I read what I can with the time I have and I try to comment unless I can't think of anything to say. The only reason I read this with it's title is because you were it's author. Otherwise I could just as easily passed it by.

Bingo! You just won the queppy doll.... Is that how you spell queppy? I suppose its how you spell queppy if you're trying to spell queppy... but "IS" that how you spell queppy? Ya... well... that's my comment on the whole thing and I'm sticking to it. But I do understand what you're trying to say even though it had nothing to do with queppies. Guppies? No... I don't remember there being anything about frogs! Where the hell am I?... Oh... there I am... Hold on there, I'm on my way...

HEY! Thanks sooooo much for reading my rhyme.
I guess I posted it Justin Thyme.
Your comments are very appreciated!
I begged and I begged, and now I'm elated!

Hey, Andrew, you look quite familiar, a lot!
I didn't know the 'stute had a Scott!

Pep Pills? No way dude... I'm naturally wacked. Just some days more than others and I havn't had lunch yet so I'm a little on the edgy side. Oh... here come the nice men in white suits with my dinner now! Excuse me but its time to go eat my jello and watch reruns of "I Love Lucy" in the common room. Care to come along... always room for one more on the farm.

...I'm out the 'stute and reading all
The poems here on O-P-three
The ones that otherwise would fall
To blatant anonymity....

The ones that say "OH - READ ME PLEASE!!
All boldly SHOUTING in all CAPS -
If I don't read each one of these
I fear for naught I might relapse!!

The 'stute's now full of fine artists -
Poor Desper-Renoir-ado's there
And Andrew Scott says he's Matisse
Earned his neuroses fair and square

We must return when day is done
This week-end pass of ours expires
But first I must read every one
That grovels, begs, and then inquires

'Tis such a chore that I must do
But I'm referring those who rhyme
And ask for us to comment too
To join the 'stute and Justin Thyme

Justin Kace how in the world did you get a weekend pass, when you were confined to the rubber room. Is Unknown sneaking around and snatching passes now too! When I get my hands on him!!!!!!

Since the Unknown Poet, Vince Van Gogh
snuck our laptop in....
I've been typing and typing and typing,
ya know?
(And so has my Justin twin).

But Justin Kace you didn't see,
Mona is in Analysis.
The Critical kind is setting her free!
While I sit here and type and get calouses!

Funny thing is, we thought she was lost,
dear Lisa had slipped past the gate!
But now she is back, just a little bit tossed,
and we're glad she's arrived not too late.

Now Andrew is signing his name like a Scott,
but I just thought I'd tell, don't buy it!
He says he's a Scott, but he's not, don'tcha know,
he's a painter like us, he's a Wyeth!

So if Justin Kace no-one answers this verse,
I'll add it right under the other
which BEGS for responses (but what's even worse),
I'll post it right under my brother!
------------------------------------
Yippee!!

(Talk about beggin' for attention! Justin Kace you hadn't noticed, my brother Justin can write a MEAN rhyme... hehehe)

Scott, Sorry to see you've joined their clan, not the place to be unless your planning on staying for a while. My side is much more safe, now I do issue weekend passes to the deserving few. Unknown was on my list before, but he's flown away to be on his own so you my friend are my next choice. What do you think? want to discuss this over tea?

Well, you got me to read this and I was busy doing a painting of Balladeer. Now, all the paint's drying and I'll have to go back and fix it later. Thanks a lot. Man, what a sick way to get attention. You guys have a lot of nerve.

I'm on the fence on this one. When you are new here, you feel unread and want people to read your stuff too, not just go for the names they know. It is an insecurity sure, but we are all insecure in some form or another. It's not nice to have bitchiness here, it's supposed to be a place where we support one another in all ways, and accept each other for what we are.
I suppose now I'll be hated by heaps of you, but all the newies are a bit insecure and feel left out. Or when you try something new, you want people to comment on it and tell you if you can improve it. That's my quarter's worth anyway.

The best way to get read is to read and respond to the posts of others. The more people you respond, the more people will recognize your name and then respond to your poem.

It is not necessary to add "please read" or other similar comments to your poem's title.

Everyone here wants an audience. The best way to get an audience is to BE an audience.... which has nothing to do with being "new" to the forums.

Justin Thyme are you creating problems again? Next thing you know I'm gonna be receiving phone calls threating the stute's life because of you! I guess it would not be the first time, and for sure not the last while you call this place your Humble Abode. Please try and exhibit some manners in the future, while your wasting away precious TIME!!

Tea with Nurse C... Hmmmmmm.... sounds dangerous. But DANGERS my middle name! (1st Voice: No it's not! It's Andrew.... 2nd Voice: That's my first my name you idiot!.... 1st: Are you sure? I just think you tell everybody that. What you say is your first name is really your middle name and you're last name is really your first. You know... and in the end I don't even think you have a last name. 2nd Voice: You know something, I think my first and last name are one and the same... Where's my drivers license?) As I was saying... HAZARDOUS MATERIAL is my middle name and I'll see your tea "C" and raise you a coffee with cream and a couple of nice butter cakes on the side. How about 2 o'clock... Oh! and come alone or the dog gets it!

Andrew, little buddy, EVERYWHERE I go around here, you keep changing your name.... and I KEEP telling you what it really is but you're so NUTS, you probably don't hear me. You name is NOT Hazardous! Your middle name is NOT Material! Your first and last name are NOT the same!

Your name is Wyeth, dammit! So pick up your brush and meet me and Michelangelo, Vince, and Pablo.... we're painting pictures of Oz this week and I think you'd be good at it, realist that you are.

I AM NOT RENOIR! I AM GOETHE!!!! in fact, I'm so well liked that the goethe society of north america calls me on a regular basis for information on all my work. my contributions to science and music and literary works are volumous. and my critique is first rate. but none of that matters as much as my suit.

what's this I hear about damaging my suit? I paid good money for that armani origional and so it better be undamamged you louse!

btw, have you seen my new masterpiece? it's a wonderful rendition of a society tetering with it's innerself. I wonder if the Library of congress would like to display it....

oh and I'm going to see your tea and coffee/cream/cookies and raise you a 10 lb bag of columbian origional coffee beans.

once again, you callous person, I am not renoir. I AM GOETHE!!! I have sustained generations and set the standard for three different literary movements in europe. none can surpass my influence. I have allowed for the creation of an institute in germany that is dedicated to my works and studies. perhaps you should go check it out. right now I am busy fighting with this infernal contraption in my room though and can't remember that absurd combination of words and punctuation is for that virtual paper on my institute. hmm perhaps I should write something about this virtual encyclopedia in our computers.... yes perhaps I shall....
