pyropoetic on October 16, 2006I know what you're saying. I personally didn't care for the blue either but it's what the muse requested. I could have insisted on something else, but I'm not real attached to the poem. Let it be what it wants to be, I say. I'll edit the poems that have somewhere to go if they neaten up. There's one I've been working on today. It seems something changes on it every few hours. It'll settle into what it's supposed to be soon I hope.

shastadaisey123 on October 13, 2006good morning,
I am reading your work and also comments..first, let me say welcome, as I see you are fairly new here.
Please be aware that 99.9% of the people at AP are wonderful. We are like family, fight, argue, cry, pray, laugh, discuss, etc together.
Good honest thoughts and constructive ctriticism and suggestions help us learn and grow...praise and trophies are great, but not esential. This is a place to "find" your voice and perfect your work. I have gotten so hurt and upset, (way back when I first came here) over the horrible criticiques I often received...but you know what I am also learning .And I have developed a great respect from some of the staunchest critiquers here.
So please, when you receive a comment like..."I don't care for blue fonts on lavendar background" do not assume that is a bad thing...it is "my thought only"...I understand the paralell concept and also remember,,,the general public reads our work, but basically we write for one person " ourself"...so do what makes you happy refine your work through constructive criticism and never give up.
have a happy day

pyropoetic on October 11, 2006My stubborn streak must have a streak of masochism within it, but I'm pretty okay about things for now. I wonder why people get offensive when they're feeling defensive. I tried holding a discussion, whereas they were arguing and making things personal. Did they ever consider how insensitive they came off when they ripped the poem about when I had to put my beautiful old friend down? It makes me sad to think they lost it that badly.
Thanks for taking a minute out of your day to respond. It made my day. -
pyropoetic on October 11, 2006Hello to you too, and thanks. I took a little time off or I would have replied sooner. What a nice surprise to see that someone put the poem on the front page for a time. The nice compliments I received from that left me feeling somewhat vindicated. It was better than a virtual trophy. Again, thanks for taking a moment to be kind.
