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

Dr Jadia Hasmukh

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

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.

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.

If we give whole time in reading others and writing comments for them, then time is observed there and we cannot write more new poems and we post less. In such case there are few they blame us and quarrel using bad word. I have written more than 42,000 (forty-two thousands) comments for poems of other poets. It has taken my much time and hard work. It needs patience.

If I were writing poems I would have written more than 42,000 poems. Because my each comment would be a poem! Time is invested in commenting, so less time is invested in writing. Time is much precious. If anything we need in life we must give it to others. Every action has reaction. If we need that others should read us, then we should read them. If we need a comment then we should learn to give!

Poets should come up from nasty politics. A poet who is writing should be a reader. Here selfless readers like us are very few. All writers or poets are crazy that their works should be read and admired. No doubt, new writers should be encouraged. You are right. Fresh water should flow. But from a flowing river we should learn its values that how selflessly river serves both shores and enter into sea.

Poem: 59328893 - Only Writers-No Readers Member: M Asim Nehal Comment: I feel the same way as you do... everybody has formed a group accommodated some top writers 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.

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.
