All Poets

I am as cross as ten sakes, one poem for Winter contest and one returned due to no comments, Now a week has passed and I have commented on several poets over that time, and MINE well only Stan commented on one of them.
Nothing from any of the poets I have supported through the years.
I am tired of this system and can spend my time on my own work, I have hundreds of short stories to write from my tapes and have up until now let that slide.
I am going to stop commenting on anyone that doesn't acknowledge that I exist on Neopoet.
As Joe is not too well I will still communicate with his work as I know it is hard for him to write that much.
This will even affect Loved the young Bard as I call him, but it is about time the scales of comments and communication were balanced,
Yours as always Ian.T
Three days have passed since I wrote this piece and only Joe replied, and he is so ill he replied through his Companion/Carer I hope this shames some of our regular poets that are here for self gratitude only, in that they seldom comment but still post pieces on stream..
I shall await any others that read and comment as they should do..
Yours Ian.T

I have been spinning my wheels for over a year on this site. If it were not for you and Lovedly, I would feel no encouragement to continue, I KNOW my poetry has value. What you said is right on target. NEO can be a cold and forbidding place for any poet who posts here. .The empty space after one's name says it all.

joe [Richard for Joe. Our Joe is doing badly, but his mind is clear and sharp.]

You are blessed among those that inhabit this place, thanks for writing for Joe..
Joe,
Thank you for reading and I know you are as sharp as you have always been, and I am here always for you and you know that.
It is a hard journey young man but you are doing fine and so many thanks for all the times we have been talking, we will meet one moment in think that will last always, you are part of many of us here, take care and Sister Teresa will calm your fears,
Yours as always, Ian ..and the Children.
I am putting my tapes on my Face book as I transpose them. Ian Thomas Howard is the handle I use...

Yeah, it gets old commenting then having your own stuff wither on the vine. I will assume that the holiday season is gobbling up a lot of folks' time and just keep on posting as I scribble something out. I'll also keep commenting but at the moment the arm/shoulder thing, book project and life is keeping my commentary down. I still gotta get the final list of potential book contributors together. I've been in touch with publisher and decided on font size. There is a bit of conflict. The smaller the print the more lines per page and thus a lower cost. But TOO small makes it a bit difficult for old farts like me to read lol. I think I hit a good medium...........stan

Thanks for your info, yes there is a lot to do, us old folk need more hours in the day, that's why I go mad at wasting precious time commenting and writing when only a few talk.
I had a book published a couple of years ago and it took up a lot of time, Richard edited the writes and I had a lady down the road do the illustrations, it saved me a great deal of money, I think I spent about $800 and received about $60 in royalties lol, but the book is out there for ever.
This is why we order on submissions but we will go into that later.. Keep in touch about the book I am here if needed,
Yours as always Ian..
PS:- No need to make excuses eg it's holiday season we have been there many times, I always check the stream and who submits especially those I have commented on lol
