Floating gently on a cloud....

Ok everybody, two things:

1) Please avoid multiple posting...I did bump up an announcement on this but very few seem to have read it.... It is very hard to reply to everyone's work when some people post many poems at a time. Time is limited and everyone wants replies. Rather just post one at a time and reply to plenty....you'll get plenty more replies that way.

2) Please please don't put "please read" along with the title in the subject place! This is off putting and un necessary. I am sure your poetry is good enough to be read without this "please read" nonsense. You'll probably get more replies if you don't put it!!

Well, I hope you all read this and try to go along with it...I don't think it is unreasonable. I really hope you all take it in to consideration as you use this forum so that it should run smoothly for all users.

Thanks!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Ok people, isn't anyone gonna read this? Geesh, here am I simply trying to look out for the smooth running of this forum and not one answer do I get! All I want is to make it easier for everyone to get more posts to their poems....

I hope someone reads this now that it's been bumped up with NO replies!!

ESP, I think it was a good idea to post this message.  I am not a teen (far from it,lol)
but i enjoy reading the teen poetry and responding.  I think your advice will increase responses and make the forum more enjoyable for all.

hmmm, yeah, I agree 100%, and as I already fallow this, I see no problem in continueing doing so.

I am lost in my own mind.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice.

Thanks ESP!  I too have noticed that these things continue to go on here.  I for one am very glad you brought this up yet again.

I agree except for the please read falls under a couple things alot of people I see post and then dont reply so thats why people are stuck on this PLEASE READ stuff... anyway good idea, its sad that people have to announce their poem that way just to have it read...

Well, if people replied to at least 5 poems before posting 1(note I say 1 not 5), then this wouldn't be a problem. This forum is sposed to go two ways: Getting replies and very importantly posting replies. Guys please, reply plenty before you post a poem....then please read can  become redundant!!
