Holy Shit! I might be a poet!!!

Two out of three poems I've submitted on lit have above 4.5 voting average!!! (For those of you who doesn't know, above 4.5 gets H mark after 10 votes.)

Check them out.

ChilledVodka and Lime was a joke poem between myself and Lime Ave: 4.33

Her Wendy James Voice so far has perfect 5 point ave.

Three Bloody Minutes was written in three minutes as it clearly stated. And has 4.57 ave.

At least it does if you use the 'Apple' layout.

oh.

maybe that's how god does it.

he just knows where to find everything.

It's not how much you know, it's how fast you can find out.

Could anyone give ChilledVodka and Lime a try and read and vote on it? It's been stuck on 9 votes for ages and I'm curious.

Also, Her Wendy James Voice can use some more votes.

Because Three Blood Minutes has H mark, and I've a couple of New poems, the readers tend to forcus on them, and ignore the older ones.

Thank you.

now people are going to bomb you with 1 votes.

Congrats! It is great that you have that Poet feeling!

But I am assuming you know, that it is not the votes that make you a poet.... you can call yourself a poet whenever YOU feel like you are one... and I bet you must have felt like one before the votes added up.... That is what matters, that you still feel like a poet even if someone bombs your poems or if one gets ignored.



when other people consider you to be a poet (which I am sure you have been so titled) which may be subjective, and less important in many ways-- but it feels really great when someone calls you one for the first time, and every time after that.....

it still makes me blush and purr when someone calls me "Poet" It is almost as good as being called "lover"

Maybe better.


Best wishes, you poet you!
