My friend, your poem on the theme of reviewing is interesting. No less is the picture which fits the poem and drives the irony deeper. You are good at coining expressions and the one used in the poem 'Tom, Dick and Thor' to rhyme with the previous line is a good example.

Thanks mate what has happened to your Pam story? Very quiet. Remember i thought you were a femaile at one stage ha! SOmeone wants me to write a poem about lack of responses to reviews now hehe!
-
Hope you did not become my fan thinking I am a female. Ha ha.
About writing, I wrote a haiku poem in a wrting prompt contest. Results are out and as usual I did not win.
-
Well I did think you was a female at first when I started reading the Pam story but I figured out you was not a bit after that. Sorry you didn't win with your poem. So when some more Pam?

Sankey, Love this one! It's so darned true. I struggle to get enough member dollars to post and offer something for the read, then I have to start all over again. I hate to pass a 'friends' work even if it doesn't pay, so I read. I think the system needs a major overhaul. I'd much rather have more member dollars for reading and less points for reviewing stars, which I could care less about. Ok, now I've vented. Great job on this one and that picture is worth a thousand words. Have a great weekend, Judy

I hear you in this one. I promote, but won't pay the piper the big bucks it takes to get on the front page. Some people I've fanned never promote, and they may post two poems or whatever per day. That's a lot of reading and reviewing to do without much reward. I know it costs to promote, but people can review and earn points. That takes a lot of time and for, though. Your poem has excellent ABCB rhyme and is cleverly done. I'm sure people will relate. judi

Comment from LIJ Red
I just wish that reviews of, say, fifty characters would save...but that would just enable the moneygrubbers to gallop faster...I suspect maybe there is some logic in the system. I get the feeling that a yank should accept whinge and "there's that" as proper dialect...

hehe not sure where you are going with this. But if you are saying Yanks are more perfect in their grammar and so on forget it hehe! I realise Aussies with our 'strine' are a whole 'nother ball game too. Thanks for coming by.
Comment from seaglass
I agree. If they want it reviewed why don't they review other people's work. Thats all it takes to make funny money to promote their work. The rhyme and meter is really good in your poem and hey...that's one big book!

Yeah the book is "Understanding Women" hehe!! That was what the title of the picture was originally ha. Thanks for coming by. Been challenged to do a poem on People's lack of responses to reviews hehe!
-
That will be an interesting one. There's a few brand new members who are rendering some 3s and 4s with no suggestions for improvements. I think that goes with new membership. They think it's like rating a movie on Netflix and its about if you like it or not rather that skill and creative success.

Thanks for that info
Comment from Dean Kuch
I'll review people who have fanned me and I, in turn, have fanned them, for just .02 cents. However, those who have not fanned me had better not expect a review from this old boy for that paltry amount. For friends, I do it out of respect, and mutual admiration. I could care very little if they offer two cents, or two dollars. I have fanned them for a reason. They would do the same for me, although i always try to promote my work to reward those who care enough to read what I've written.
I get where you're comin' from, Sankey. I feel ya...

Yeah I read a lot because I like. Thing is in my early days I actually PAID REAL LIVE AUSSIE Dollars for member dollars to reward reviewers. But now I do enough reviewing (of decent rewarders for same) to promote my own at member dollar only cost. Thanks for coming by.
Comment from ProjectBluebook
I concur... looks like Obama's healthcare Index, he never read. Yep, if you really think your stuff is good, you should promote it to some degree. What do they do with the contest money? hello... this is a money world it is not taboo if you pay someone to review. If i got the doubloon, I always promote. I think that the reader deserves something for their time. Time is money. They could be making money with their time. I usually don't review for free. My time is worth something, kind of disrespectful if they don't reward a wheat penny. Count your doubloon. wackydo

It is one of the trials in life we have to endure. I am trying to build up dollars so I can promote more of my work so other can gain more points by reviewing.

I know what you mean, I object most of all to the haikus because they have been written in five minutes mainly. When I write my poems it takes me a couple of hours, including finding a suitable image. Good use of rhyming and an enjoyable read. Faye
