In the space between moments

You know it's that holiday season,
That special time of year,
It's the time of giving,
The time of spreading lotsa cheer!

But everywhere I look in Teen
I see a "please read me" plea
And it kind of makes it seem like
The only thing we think of is "me me!"

*~*~*~*~*~*

Hey Everyone, it's your friendly moderator Buddy Krista!  I've been noticing an awful lot of those pleas lately.  I know we all want to be read, but shouldn't we try and read more of other people's work rather than begging that our own get a lot of replies?  So, let's make a change and make this place even more friendly than it already is!  I love ya all, and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

Well, I admit, all 5 billion of my posts have had these pleas.  Have mercy on a poor boy's soul!  ok, a little over dramatic there, but I see this too, and more people should read this post.< !signature-->

I agree.  In fact the reason I didn't read this sooner is because of your title.  
I hope more ppl read this

I agree, but it seems that if we don't write please read, then nobody reads them...  people are getting a lil slack with replies, so I think that is the reason why we are writing please read a lot!!

Melz!!


Dont believe what ur eyes r telling u they only show limitation. Look with ur understanding, find out what u already know & u will see the way to fly

Glad to know everyone agrees!  I know it seems like no one replies at times, but like Erica said, the more you give, the more you get!

heh...i remember a year ago, when i first came here, no body read the ones with "please read" in the titles, and i still dont...the only reason i even read this one was because it was posted by a moderator


i have never once added that to the title of any of my poems my favorite thing is "Look close, and youll see the title"

but i do try to reply more to others, ive only posted like 10 and i just past 900.  Still, i'm sorry

with regards to the posts DQ brought up.  sometimes thats my fault too    i dont post that much it's just that i go search thru some people's poems and reply to like 5 of em in a row, so it seems like they posted a lot.  Sorry
