You comment on others' work. And truly I REALIZE a person cannot always comment on everyone's poem. My comment was made for those who never respond to anyone else's poem EVER & continue to week after week share their own links. I also know that some weeks are busier than others for people, and we all do the best we can.......but I am talking about a regular pattern of non-response to anyone.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-39661189980788916912013-08-09T05:53:23.593-04:002013-08-09T05:53:23.593-04:00Like Rosemary, I try to make the rounds, but it ta...Like Rosemary, I try to make the rounds, but it takes me a while.

I do what I can, as I can, and won't push myself beyond my limits. That's why I no longer (or at least very seldom) participate in The Poetry Pantry any more. It's good to have these prompts from Kim, which I very much enjoy and can almost always respond to, and which so far are manageable in terms of visiting others.
