I enjoyed your poem. You have expressed what many on FS believe. Your lines flow well with good rhymes. Your message is clear, too. I had no problems understanding your choices of rhymes.
As for the 'A' thing in your copyright, I have never seen that occur. I believe the copyright isn't something that can be revised. I would contact Tom about it though so it doesn't keep showing up.
Good job & thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jan, I have just been through a truckload of wonderful reviews from a fairly new friend on here of all the chapters of this book that are actually out of whack as I moved stuff to put this new one in last night. I have to re-do the index in this book as well. Thanks for a terrific review. I am glad I stayed for another 2 years.

Well Sankey, where you're right, you're right.
I too tend to be generous with my rating - but I take time to explain that - my generosity - while I point at whatever improvements I suggested.
Cheers,
Apky

Thanks new friend. So glad you came along. Just had a heap of reviews from a new friend on all the chapters of this book or most anyway. I have to re-do the Index as the chapter numbers are all wrong seeing I moved things around for this new one. Thanks mate.
Comment from barbara.wilkey
To be honest I have marked people down because of too many SPAGS, not because I don't like the subject. But if somebody is a writer they should be able to adhere to common punctuation, capitalization, and spelling rules. That being said, I also understand typos and overlooking something, but that won't happen in every sentence they write.

I agree barbara and I so appreciate you coming along. I saw 29 reviews that I thought were all for this new poem but a new friend has taken the time to go through a lot of the other chapters rewardless which I really appreciate. I have to clean up the Index as I moved stuff around to add this new poem near the front. Thanks again.
Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
Hi, Geoff
= Indeed, many mark a person down when they don't like the writer's opinion. Duh!
= The concept of helping other people in their writing is concept many just don't get.
= Very sad. I usually pass over those people when it comes to reviewing.
= Hope all is well with Louise. (*>*)
Cheers ... Jax

Thanks Sis what a wonderful line up of reviews this time around. I* saw 29 reviews and I thought they were all for this poem, hehe but a fairly new friend possibly from your West Coast I think too the time rewardless to go through a lot of the chapters in this collection. I have to fix the intro as I moved a lot of chapters around to put this new one in. Thanks again. Love you, Sis.

A very well-written poem about the scoring if another's work. Unless it is really bad, with more errors than acceptable, either skip the work or encourage the poet and give them directions to correct.

AMEN sis well said. I know all us bible bashers hehe are on the same wavelength. I saw I had 29 reviews this morning and I thought they would be for this new poem. But one of my new friends took the time to go through this book rewardless. I have to re-arrange Chapter numbers in the Index as I moved stuff around to fit this new one at the front. Thanks again.
Comment from MelB
I find most of the reviewers are accurate or fair for me, but there are a few who come in and I can't help wonder if they are like internet trolls, who just want to get a rise out of you. I usually throw their remarks out of my mind, and act like they never reviewed me. Remember, the devil works in those he can!

AMEN Sis, you are just so right. I came on this morning and saw TWENTY NINE reviews and thought they would all be for this new poem. A lovely fairly new member went pretty well through this book and reviewed all the poems or most of them rewardless. The index is all messed up as I moved stuff around to make room at the front for this new one. Will work on it later. What an encouragement! Thanks again. Lord Bless.

Yes, we are here to be helpful to learn and to help others learn. I do occasionally give less than 5, but only if it's really full of spags. Well written, my friend~Debbie

Hi Debbie, that was why I made up the word "Spagarama" hehe. Sorry FS put that "A" in there grrr. Thanks for the great review we are on the same wavelength. I have to fix up the Index for this book as I moved a lot of the chapters around to make room for this new poem and I have to tidy the index up. Not all negative poems in the book hehe some good stuff.
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
You are so right. I got a 3 because he felt I was wrong in a color I used but really loved my piece.lol
Then I got a two the other day because she did not understand a word and thought it was wrong.
lol

Thanks Barb have had so many great responses and general agreement to what I have posted. I came on here this morning and saw TWENTY NINE reviews I thought all for this poem. But a fairly new friend very kindly took the time to go through a lot of the poems in this book to review them rewardless which has really touched me. I have to fix the index as I moved stuff around to fit this new poem in and the index is now out of whack. Thanks again Cheers.

Nice work. Yes it is difficult when people continue to misunderstand. Like the rhyming, the poem is well paced and expresses a strong sentiment. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks Harry I reckon we have not met before. I will dig out your stuff and reciprocate as I call it I came on this mko0rning and saw I had 29 reviews which I thought were all for this poem, hehe. A kind new friend took the time to go through a lot of the chapters in this book and review for NOTHING which was most kind. Apologies for the index being out of whack. I need to reorganize it as I moved stuff around to put this new one in. Lovely meeting you. Will check you out, promise.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to your reading.

Most members are not qualified to review prose, must less poetry. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is good imagery.
