I love this! It's so funny and very true, it's happened to me recently. I've been getting a lot of low ratings, but the reviewer usually says how much they liked it. So whats with the 4? This definitely deserves a 6. Loved it! :)

    Yeah, I know. They say they loved the piece but give it a little 4. I think the site should give all the new people a page they have to read and click on 'accept' that tells them about the rating system right off the bat. But what can you do? Lol. Thank you for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Boogie. Congrats on the win. Have a great weekend and thank you again.

Well, that was just clever! I loved it. I believe you elegantly described something many of us have dealt with on this site. I deeply empathize with the line, "with forty cents it tried." I was down to 11 cents last month, and that was not fun. Well done! I hope you get your "Well Received" soon! Warm regards and well wishes,
Jeni

    Thank you for the great review, Jenifer. The 40 cents part was actually meaning that it was promoted to 40 cents but still didn't receive enough reviews to make up for the 6er that was lost. I really appreciate the generous stars, J. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have yourself a great weekend.

It is so annoying when that happens, if you're given a six you should be able to keep it. This was a really good contest entry, and I wish you the best of luck. :) Sandra xx

    I know. I don't understand how a 4 can so severely damage a 6 once you have one. Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Sandra. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

I suppose it would be historically inaccurate if this piece were to receive a rating above a 5, so I have to help it maintain its authenticity. How sad.

The tear looks like a fishing hook, lol. You must really be getting efficient at photo editing these faces, haha. They all look similar, like the supervisor lady in Monsters Inc. Just one little suggestion:

then slandered it with four. <= good job keeping the syllable count under control by omitting the article, but it might read a little better if you could find a way to keep it, such as "accursed it with a four", or "then cursed" etc.

Oh yeah, your piece was great and right on point. You sure know how to play these contests. Harambe can confirm that your dispatched sixer is still hanging out in purgatory, waiting for some sort of divine intervention.

    LoL. Yeah, once I did the first face, they're all pretty well the same. This one was from a baby with a sad pouting look. Ha. I like playing with my art program more than writing most of the time. I use a free program called Gimp for editing pics. I actually had that line like that at first but changed it to this. Thank you for the great review, friend. I'm glad you liked this dumb piece.

Hello mystery poet a good day to you, I hope this finds you well. I enjoyed reading your the life of a .... writing prompt contest entry, you executed it well. Good job and good luck in the contest. (don't you just hate those 4 ratings?...)

This is creative. It makes you feel good when someone gives you great stars. However, when they do not give you any stars, I feel as if a dagger stabbed me in the heart. However, thankfully, the pseudo stab goes away.
It is funny, how it touches the heart. Anyway, you have a great poem on here. I enjoyed reading this. Thanks for posting.
