Treasure Island?
Oh please, whose idea is this?
What on earth are we?
Who cares for statistics,
certainly not me!
What the heck have
pirats, entrance visa
to do with poetry?
Please people
be serious, poetry
is not a game
but a liberty flame.
fight for a rank
could give birth
to damage and pain.
Please poem hunter
don't kill your treasure
true creativity flame.
A poem is pure truth
coming from the depth of soul
no way to be the toss of a game.
Right on! I love posting poems, making comments, eliciting responses. I don't like rating poems. I love listing my favorite poems and poets. (I'm sorry some of my favorite aren't available for me to list; I should be able to list them even if the text is not available on PoemHunter for copyright or other reasons.) In other words, I like almost everything about PoemHunter. If somebody's going to give me points, let it be for making a comment that the writer of the poem found helpful. That's happened to me only once, but it MADE MY DAY. Write on!
Absolutely Spot on Elena! This work is a great lament and condemnation of what is going on in this site. I have only been posting here for only three years, but in that time I have seen a disturbing trend in near commercialization and the system of awarding people stats if they post comments or kudos to other peoples work. This is a place to inspire creativity not foster statues, great work though unfortunate that it had to be written.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
