Um, I still don't know much about this site, I just like when people read what I write, and give me their honest opinion. But I only had like a few people read what I posted, and I was told to ask on here if someone would read what I got. Much appreciated. Thanks!

Best way to get reads on your poetry is to read as much as possible of other poets work and comment on it. Most will return the favour.
-
-
that doesn't work for me
a better way to get reads might be to join a social group
I don't know
-
-
Write. Read. Meet new people.....and *whispers* you're not supposed to ask for reads on the boards.
--Aden -
Yeah I don't get a whole lot of reads myself. But, I think getting comments should be scondary, I use this site as more of a storage space. It's awfully convenient to write up something I'd written down earlier that day, or if something comes to mind when I'm busy on the net to just load up all poetry and put it in.

so what---are we in a Warehouse, then?
*looksaroundforboiler-suit*
I'm not dressed for driving a pick-fork! -

witch pitch will never fall down?
*buffalostance* -

bitch of a pitch for a witch-
which witch is which? which a bitch? which pitch? -

come back...bad sistah! bad sistah!...I'll get Medusa to stare at you, then you'll be sorry...

"she's got Bette Davis' eye'"
or is it Gary Gilmore's?

come on and pass
the magic glass
that I may perceive
he's got a sword
you have been warned
proceed carefully
give me the spear
and I will skewer
the intruder immediately -

That is so kool!

The comments are just the icing on the cake, really. Don't get me wrong, I love getting them, but I think I'd be here even if there wasn't a comment feature.
-
people tell me I shouldn't use a knife
if there was a way to divert that negative attention -
-
ever thought of being a Matador?
-

I read a poem of yours and left a comment - but haven't seen a return from you. That may be why you don't get more reads...
-
-
This is like really good. okies. Keep writing.
-
-
my comments are generally fluffy thanks&praise...because if I try to dissect anything I'm in aweful wonder of, I feel like a self-centred prick
I think I only break-down a piece I feel my input/opinion/conclusions might help; or at least, not hinder
otherwise; my comments on reads that help me are mainly what I'd call 'a big-up' -
-
Sorry. What?
Seriously, though, I just don't have the energy. I probably never did, to be honest. I always resisted breaking poetry down into little pieces and analyzing it back when I was in school (and hated the thought that someone might do the same to my words some day). So, I quit school and became a contract killer and part-time set designer for CIA training films. It is easier to kill people than to write about poetry. -

after all, who knows what they're thinking!?! -

It's like this:
Rose are red,
violets are blue.
Are you dead yet you stinking maggot? -
-
Roses are red
violets are blue
if you're not dead yet
I'll just reshoot you -
no wonder that rhymey-bird displays her wrath at you
*squalk* -
-
That particular verse didn't seem to call for rhyme.
Like this one:
Hickory-dickory-dock ,
die you fat male rooster. -
-
you're a country boy at heart, aint ya
-
-
I have been telling people that for years.
-
-
oh, bet that was interesting for them
-
-
This is how you talk to a contract killer?
-
-
hello? freelance trouble-shooter, at your service
*crackle*
I'm sorry, it's a bad line...

If you feel like a self-centered prick polly, help yourself... there are quite a few on these boards.

I'd rather not

Well, roughwire, did you get the answer you wanted?
I thought not. You might try offering rewards. Look over on the right side of a poem's page, for "get more reads" or something like that. Click on it and it will take you to another page where you can put your poem in the feature box or offer rewards for reads and comments. Works for me. celtic queen
