R.K. Garon, for one, responded to your shared poetry every time; but I did not see a response of yours on even one of his poems. I would say he was your most loyal visitor from PU. Week after week. And then there others who responded to your work and to whom you did not reciprocate a visit. I will not name these others, but everyone who comments your poem would also appreciate a comment on theirs. One can easily make a list of those who comment & at least return those particular visits. (Many do this, I know!) If you had an email address I would have emailed you directly rather than posting here. Truly, people do read because they enjoy...but also after a while if there is not mutuality, it feels a bit like a one-way street. Hope you feel better this week.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-71246883219792964952014-09-15T04:51:31.031-07:002014-09-15T04:51:31.031-07:00a superb poem well composed thoughts-flowing over ...a superb poem well composed thoughts-flowing over smoothly as the poem progresses-one reads till the very classic last lines...Anjum Wasim Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252859337697790445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-89115512343852926182014-09-15T03:53:41.243-07:002014-09-15T03:53:41.243-07:00Wow, this is very well written.

Please take care of yourself, and continue to write and post your poems. I, like you, hope that those who read my work do so because they enjoy it, and not out of some reciprocal obligation. We're all just doing the best we can here. Some days I do more writing than visiting. It's not a slight to other poets; it's simply that I've got a writing bug, and wish to credit the sites I've been prompted by. Please rest, heal, and write.De Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798544585779003567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-48624006695796139532014-09-14T17:17:05.215-07:002014-09-14T17:17:05.215-07:00Mary - I did ramble on quite a bit and I apologize...Mary - I did ramble on quite a bit and I apologize if I seemed harsh in my response to your admonishment - I do usually post as said in the wee hours of the morning and make it my business to not return to sleep until I have read and commented on those who are up and posted - I am truly disheartened by this unfortunate exchange - I try to do the best that I can do here and in all walks of my life :)Dr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-26921350369197049572014-09-14T17:05:42.041-07:002014-09-14T17:05:42.041-07:00My dear Mary - I must respond to your comment to m...My dear Mary - I must respond to your comment to me which I feel is blatantly unfair especially today... if you had read the (albeit) small print on my posted poem it makes mention of my recent release from hospital. In fact, I had no intention of either writing or posting a poem this morning until I noticed the somehow comforting synchronicity of the "Wordle words" prompt. (By the way this is my second attempt at responding to to you - the first was wiped away on by IPAD dying..however I consider your admonishment important enough to warrant an immediate response). At any rate... I usually post in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and I always make it my business to read and respond to those who have posted. I have come to know the work of many poets ....you, Viv, Old Egg, Elizabeth, Bjorn, J Cosmo, Rosemary, Laurie ... to name just a few off the top of my head. Incidentally, I read and comment and enjoy both ends of the process with no expectation of some sort quid pro . quo situation. I would truly hope that any who read and comment do so, as do I, because they have read and enjoyed (or not) my work and feel they have something to say. As a psychoanalyst, a writer but mostly as a simple human being I am acutely aware of the joys of being appreciated ... I must say that I am both insulted and hurt by this unearned chastisement - I do hope that this is some mistake on your part and that we can continue in a happy poetic rapprochement. As said, I have come to know and enjoy the work of many fellow poets and I do believe that they are well aware through my comments to them of my appreciation. I apologize for today's lapse and also for not being able to respond to the comments that I see here on today's offering. I am keeping away from the computer as I process the 4 litres of blood that I received via transfusion during my three day hospital stay. (apologies for the dramatic last line - but then again we poets try to have a killer last line). Hope all is well with you and yours and that you receive this response as my reaching out to you and hopefully putting an end to what I truly hope is a misunderstanding or confusion of me with someone who I am truly not and will never be. <br /><br />Dr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.com
