I know there's a rule in passions that what we post has to be a poem, but i just have to say what's on my mind

I don't know about other people, but every reply that I get makes me feel better.  It gives me more incentive to write more and post it here on Passions.  That one time my poem went over 30 replies really helped me a lot.  Not only with my self confidence in writting, but also with the situation at hand.

Where am I getting to?

I know I'm no moderator, but still I think we should reply more to all the other poems.  I try my best, but I do have limited time.  It makes me feel bad to see some poems with no replies up to 3 replies.  Common know, we could do better than that.  I know we can

Please join me to make sure all poets would get at least 7 replies.  Or maybe even 10 replies per poem.  Are you with me?

Sorry moderators --- please don't delete
I'll add a poem

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'll reply more and more
And so are you!!!

Acire, you are exactly right!! I try to reply to as many posts as I can, but I also have limited time, made even more limited with my moderator duties. I hope everyone reads this and makes an effort to reply more!

Hey babe! You're sooo exactly right. Sometimes when I get bored I go back to the poems posted days before to make sure there arent any with 0 replies. CAuse i know how it feels to have no one reply. So i'll keep posting!!

Thanks so much for bringing this isssue up again!  I as a moderator also have limited time to reply due to my duties here, but I do what I can.  If everyone chipped in a little bit more this problem could very quickly be turned around!

Hey,What it do? I just wanted yooh to know that i agree w/you 100% and I must admit I don't reply very often but when I do it's nothing but good replys.But lately I've noticed not everyone has been giving rave reviews towards others work and I think if you aint sayin nothin worth listening to yooh need to keep it to yourself.Not to be rude but not everyone like "constructive criticism".Thanks and Stay Tru

All three moderators,
Agree with you!!!

I hope this gets some enthusiasm going ... and people take more time to respond!  It's all give and take here, and we ALL like to receive positive feedback ... it's a wonderful incentive! Great thoughts Acire!  

Best wishes,

i so agree w/ that. And i know we all don't have much time on our hands, I mean i just started back up in school about 3 weeks ago, but i think it is a great idea, and we should all try to do our part.

Roses are red

My butt is green (haha j/k)
But I agree with you too!

Ok so my butt isn't green. A very sheer white shade I might add...but anyways...I reply to every poem I read. However, my time is severely limited to the times that I am not eating, sleeping, spending time with my boyfriend, attending the school I despise, and writing reports. But if everyone else is putting forth more effort...I too shall do the same. Thanks for the eye opener!

I've been kind of busy with school starting, but replying certainly isn't too much to ask    Now that I have time, it's off to read some poems (and of course reply)!

it seems this msg is defeating its on purpose.
It's getting more replies then most of the poems in here.
real nice eh?

I noticed that someone was having a problem with this so I am bumping it up so that EVERYONE can read this!!!If we all decided to share our thoughts about the poems instead of just posting up our own replies then there would be much happier teens!!!So start sharing your thoughts!!!< !signature-->

I totally agree woo, I find that the more relpies I recieve the better I feel about dealing witht he situation, I always write whenever I'm going through hard times in my life, thats when you will see more poems showing up from me, and I like to recieve replies to boost my self confidence. It really helps, I'm with you on this. smiles ¤poe¤

Ok, another poet agrees with you man. Great idea, it makes feel great hearing what all of you have to say about our poems, so let's work together and let's try to reply as much poems as time allow. Bye, and great idea.

I ohso agree with you.  I myself have posted and Have not got any replies. I have recently posted a poem called All in All.  But anyway, I also know how it feels to not be replied to.  Here is a poem to go along with the others.

Roses are red
violets are blue.
Those without replies
cry."Boo-Hoo!"

not meaning to sound babyish or anything
