I worship you--well at least your poems.

I think you have a beautiful voice and a great talent.

my dearest poet,. 1201
you speak of pluggin, in a sentence
with "fun"...and while your banter
with dear poet Anna,
makes for good lit reading,
Im sitting here getting so fucking jealous
I think my eyes are bleeding.


i wanna rock, she said to her lover
who pulled some obsidion
from under the cover,
he smacked her dear head
until she was dead, and theres
a rock rightabove her

 

[twelveoone]

I wouldn't touch, let alone plug
Well maybe if I get drunk enough
I'll plug my own poetry
I feel so dirty just thinking about
plugging my own poetry

WITHIN TWO DAYS UNCLE PERVERY WILL WRITE ABOUT PLUGGING HIS OWN POEMS

Don't you know you can't write like that, what will the poets say?
That is tough
so what rhymes with "her' I'm still drawing a blank verse

Average number of non regular readers?

I know a lot of poets have regular readers, what I am wondering is, not counting them, about how many people read your poems? It seems that not many people come by to read poems, admittedly I read stories on lit. for years and never gave the poetry a glance until I started posting poems.
Do you think the title is essential to attracting readers? I'm bad at titles.

Titles are a gateway. Why do you read a poem of a person you don't know? The title? The name of the poet sounds, well...different? It's difficult to say. It could also depend on ones mood. Maybe it's a combination of things. Which poem would you read, one called 'Rainy Morning' or one called 'Spit Day' ?

Getting back to the H's. Could someone enlighten me. First I have 'em, then I don't have em. Votes appear and then votes disappear. Averages go up and averages go down without the number of votes changing. It all seems a lot of nonsense to me, especially since I think my best poems have scored the least votes. Maybe there is a message there.

A red "H" means your poem has acquired a red "H." Nothing more, nothing less.

A red "H" means your poem has acquired a red "H." Nothing more, nothing less.

Mathematically it means you have 10 votes that average 4.5 or above.

Sometimes strange things happen because:
someone notifies Laurel that they think something tricky is going on with their votes. Usually if they have a perfect 5 or something and suddenly get 1's, 2's or 3 votes. Then she runs all of the votes through some equalizer-- it clears out any votes that come from the same IP address (which may correct some issues while creating others)

I think it also does things like cut out low votes when they all appear at once from one IP address? I am not sure.

So you might have lost votes in a great number cleansing. I have never Quite understood it. There might be different people in one house using the same computer, and their votes would be cut.

But it is all really a joke, and that has been mentioned before....

and even in the best of worlds where every vote counted (once) it is all about the reader's decision, for whatever reason-- it is all about taste and popularity. Many of my poems that were highly regarded here are not accepted elsewhere, and vice versa. Go figure

Just have fun.

ohh it does catch the eye of visual learners.. although what's being taught is not necessarily on the reading list
