I love it, because it's a feeling I'm all too familiar with.

Speaking of poetry, I'd love to submit some stuff to Virtual Poetry Reading. And I've now gotten my mic set back up . . .

I wish I could get ONE featured article...in all my 3 years I'm pretty sure I haven't. I like to think there was one...but that was probably a dream.

I don't think poetry ever gets featured...such a shame.

Speaking of the poem, I'm curious as to which site this is that you're discussing. I'm not super familiar with all the poetry forums out there, but this type of behavior is nothing new.

And it basically sucks.

I thought he was talking about this one. Of course this is even worse since poetry isn't the main focus here...in fact, it's not really an afterthought but more of a nagging gnat in the forums. We just keep throwing it out there. Luckily we did get our own subforum in writing.

Actually it's a composite of many sites.

This poem is not actually about a poetry site, its more about the ego involved with writing and posting.
I think poetry actually finds its audience, which is why there's so little of it that actually sells.

Most poets appeal to so few readers that each poet is essentially a cottage industry unto itself.
I have a very small following of readers to whom I am grateful.
However, I am not aggressively trying to sell books anymore - I want people to hear / read my poems, hence my free site.

I'll give away my poems for free. If you want a reading, however, that'll cost ya.

Thanks (and send your poem), Moskowitz

Of which I proudly count myself a member. I check Virtualpoetryreading dot com Every. Single. Day.

Rock on Buddah. You are the coolest.

I know this so well although I have to say I don't bear anyone ill feelings for gazumping me on the list. This comes from all the years accepting crushing defeat as a musician.

This is goood, none the less.

I have finally got my set up sorted out at home and will be sending you a few recordings in the next week or so.

Thanks for being patient.

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

My wife has instructions to publish my poetry after I pass on. That way, I won't have to strangle every wannabe critic who thinks they can make it better by changing the entire damned structure of the poem. I just don't "do" poetry anymore.

The lyrics that I've posted, though, have never generated mre than 3 or 4 responses. I'm just glad I'm not writing for an audience, or I'd stop altogether.

Lyrics and poems are the same.

I love reading you! I haven't been on your virtual site yet. I'll check it out at some point!

Hey I'm reader #3 and proud of it!

You are the super coolest and have a really cool voice. If you haven't went to his poetry site you all should. He has a link at the bottom of his poem.

Hey, thanks! BTW, I'm sorry I missed your birthday, but I hope it was great!
