We all have our personal tastes, and I was taught, 'If you can't say anything nice, say nothing.' (But that is rare. If I haven't ever commented on any of your poems, it is probably because I haven't yet discovered them.)<br /><br />I must say, I personally have no complaints. I'm grateful for everyone who comments on my work and finds something encouraging to say.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-4619225882860339092012-06-28T17:16:16.996-04:002012-06-28T17:16:16.996-04:00Oh good, not too late to join in - with a little p...Oh good, not too late to join in - with a little poem that came out of nowhere last night.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-89962143976554715952012-06-27T19:35:34.887-04:002012-06-27T19:35:34.887-04:00Eileen, I replied to this concern on your blog.

My problem is keeping up with comments on my own blog, where I usually pay a visit to those who left a comment, and sometimes don't get back to the prompt. Eileen brings up a good point, and I will try to do more visiting at the time I post - THEN go back and tend my blog, where I am 7 poems behind in responding...! <br /><br />Also, I don't always comment on poems when I visit the site... sometimes there aren't enough hours; other times, my comments are redundant, because everyone already said what I felt...<br /><br />One post per prompt is fine by me!

I too am very tired of spending time visiting other Blogs to read poems and to leave a comment. There are several members of Poets United who have been members for some time and yet, they are sadly very selfish. They attract plenty of inbound comments, but I have NEVER had a return comment from them. I applaude most of the brand new members, who do make the effort. I feel it is very important to keep the community alive and to keep good members who embrace the spirit and a basic sense of sharing.<br />I shall continue to visit Blogs of those who share, but I will cease to visit the Blogs of those who are simply lazy or selfish.<br /><br />EileenEileen T O'Neill .....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03325632298717325699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-40631283401911407922012-06-24T07:18:23.567-04:002012-06-24T07:18:23.567-04:00Next week the rules will change here at Poetry Pan...Next week the rules will change here at Poetry Pantry. Next Sunday (and thereafter) people will be asked to choose ONE poem to link. This seems more fair to me, as I have often seen that linking three poems does not not mean people visit three times as many other poets. Often quite the opposite.<br /><br />And truly, this is a poetry COMMUNITY, in which we are trying to encourage reciprocity. Some people who link, as far as I can see, have yet to reach out to other poets. Please reach out to several others; and also if someone you don't know reaches out to you, do that person the courtesy of a return visit. We all like visits and comments; and to me, linking is NOT a one-way street.
