Only Writers-No Readers
Monday,5th October 2020
Everybody is a writer here
nobody wants to be a reader
no encouragement to the newcomers
they remain a silent observer
everybody has formed a group
accommodated some top writers
they accept your comments
but never offer or read others
this is a new trend
and sends disturbing signals
somebody is busy in receiving certificates
and forgetting her/his own skill and leaves at the gate
I neither blame
nor appreciate them
if they want only fame and name
this is not the place to claim
let fresh waters rush in
allow their skill to be shown
sometimes own trumpet blows out of tune
once glory is gone, never comes back again
come out from narrow concept
and prompt others
to come up with fresh ideas
and let us see their pleas

Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: M Asim Nehal they accept your comments but never offer or read others.. This is what is happening here, good poems and good writers flee and what remains is bunch of junks. Lets hope things will change someday.
I find myself reading far more than writing, so I'm not sure I agree with you. In any case, I read this poem, and I will read others you submit. Thanks.
Freely we read and write, as per our freedom. Interfering in freedom of others is very much dangerous. We should look before we leap for safety, freedom and mutual respect. You are a genius poet and we know that you work very hard in writing and you have got many awards and honours. You are a nice person. We understand your emotion from this poem. Writing is your freedom!
This poem is a thought provoking poem and amazingly penned. I hope people will understand. Further we can never demand a reader to read and comment. This is completely his freedom. We cannot interfere in freedom of others. We can take care of our freedom under self control. We cannot quarrel or blame others if they do not read, telling that we have freedom to quarrel.
Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: Kumarmani Mahakul Comment: You have amazingly observed. This is a thought provoking poem. There should be mutual respect and a poet should be a reader too. All are crazy to write poems and no one likes to read of other's then this is so sad. If we read and comment some blame us. Some put dislikes. Few do here nasty politics and other good poets believe them when they express false emotion.
Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: Kumarmani Mahakul Comment: Like writing, reading and commenting need time and patience. Some writers are busy in posting thousands of poems by their hard works and and they have no time to read others. Some of us we read giving our valuable time, read thoroughly and comment nicely having patience but thousands dislikes are put by few persons in those comments. Still we read forgiving them.

This is what is happening here, good poems and good writers flee and what remains is bunch of junks. Lets hope things will change someday.
Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: Robert Murray Smith Comment: I note that you claim I use 14 accounts. I have one. No time for others. Swain and Cronick took your statement as the truth, and repeated the claim of 14 accounts. The reason I'm popular rests on different IPs. If I had 14 IPS I would need to simultaneously live in 14 different countries. Go figure.
Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: Robert Murray Smith Comment: I try and encourage newcomers. There is absolutely no fame or fortune on a poetry site. Those who participate do it for pleasure. It also exercises my mind.
