Is it worth posting non-erotic

[Ravin the Poet]

I don't write erotica since I have no experience to write about it. Yet I am a huge love poet and a huge dark poet. I would like to post them, yet, I am unsure if there is an auidence for this type. DO people read just 'normal' poetry, or do they venture out into other non-erotic type poems. I have about 20 or so poems I wish to post on here, just I don't know if it's worth it, if no one reads them.

Of course you can post them.

Everyone reads 'normal' and 'abnormal' poetry with equal vigor.

 

[SeattleRain]

many time non-erotic are better received. Check out the list of E's given and the top list. Always more non-s on there


please dont post all of them at once
but please do post them! We always like new voices and the rest....

I forgot to say, have you gone through the new poems list?

http://www.literotica.com:81/stories/new_submissions.php?type=poem

Read through some, maybe a few days old and check out the comments, non-erotic get just as many, if that is what you are interested in. It is difficult to write good erotic poems.

 

[Ravin the Poet]

Sorry to say I don't read poetry. I know it sucks because its a good way to get others to read, but I just can never get into reading other's work. I don't know why. I guess I just prefer reading, and no feedback, because I just don't like it to much.

Yes! Post them!

And then read some! Apparently I'm not the only one that's a sucker for positive reinforcement!

I like your poem on your posts. Do you like mine?

[Reltne]

I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away
Ravin

Don't you need an apostrophe in the last line?

It just doesn't pay to be polite sometimes.

First of all, at least I, as well as many other quotes here in their signatures, are credited by the person who actually quoted it. You should correct that. For a person that has never heard the song, one would presume that this was a quote or a statement you originally made.

Secondly, "There" in the quote is misused. The correct word should be "They're".

Third, you misspelled "poems" in your thread regarding the poems that you wrote. It may behoove you to consider reading other people's poetry.

Fourth, only the people who have either not seen your crass attitude or would look beyond your crass attitude would read the poems you posted. I believe it was mentioned that it's a give and take. Others would be glad to read your poems if you consider reading other's poetry.

Fifth, don't be ugly. It's not very nice.

1. I don't fucking care

2. Don't pull this high english shit on me

3. "away" by breaking Benjamin is the song

4. I hate spelling nazi's

5. Have a nice day


This is a reason I don't read peoms. I don't put up with the poets themself. If you have nothing better to do but come on here and correct a lyric I got from a website, then I pitty you badly. I don't know how you get this "I have an attitude" but just for you I'll bring it out.

Now as for my quote. I'm sorry but you are wrong, considering I matched it with the song writer's lyrics in the CD and it matches. The band wrote the song like that, so thats how I put it. Sorry, we all can't be 100% perfect on grammer, and I am not running every post I do through the spellcheck and grammer check to please the nazi's on this board. I am sorry for my rudeness, but I am getting sick and tired of people always all high and mighty on spelling and grammer. It's a message board, if you didn't think bad spelling was going to be on here, I would ask you to pass around the weed your smoking.

You are getting these strings of answers, in various threads, because you are impolite.

Why does that need to be explained to you?

Re: Re: last post

Lets look how it started. I posted this thread asking about non-erotic poems. Thread was going fine. Then someone posts a comment on my sig because of errors. I replied saying that is how it was in the song. Then I get a reply saying I am rude?

You want to tell me how that happens. I only said "Thats how the band puts it". Then I start getting ganged up on. So how you expect me to stay poliet when I got three people yelling at me for simply saying "Thats how the band wrote it"

But it's normal. Friends stick together, and since Gina is probably known more on this board, my comment is seen as rude. Yet, I am not the one who said she had an attiude. She said that to me, in which I reply with an attitude to justify the reasoning.

Calm and clear is how I just responded. Don't take it as me bitch please.

[Ravin the Poet]

As you said, it takes getting to know them. And if the first thing you see is someone who just wants you to go read their poem and stop being a taker, when you have only posted three poems, there really isn't anything I can do. I JUST STARTED on this thread, and posted three poems. Some of the people here have 20-30. So I'm selfish? How am I when I have three and want them looked at before I go and read 20. Doesn't seem fair to me. But who am I to say what is fair. I'm new.

Cursing at strangers is not my idea of polite.

It just makes you seem crude.

Do you expect kisses in return?

 

[Sibilaire]

okay I am stepping out of this

No one said you were selfish, I dont think.

Many sites actually require you to comment on poems before you post them. Or they require that you comment on two for every one you post. There are no requirements.

I do not know Gina, she is new as you.

We try to welcome new people.

We not a clique. We as people who have been here a while and want to learn from othe people here.

that is it. I have another name with more poems lol and more comments I am just to lazy to sign off sibilaire
