Is to be the lowest a good thing? Nadir, by definition, is something undesirable. Why Scottish pronunciation? Why not Australian? Doom is witty?

A well written poem about those who are penniless or otherwise poor (love friendship). I love your wording in this and appreciate the glossary of terms. This 5-7-5-7-7 is so very meaningful~Debbie

I am sorry i cound not understand the theme of your poem .were you planning to say that if you are poor then you are not wanted .'be nadir ,nada ' was confusing .it sounded like a request.authors notes did not help .you should change some lines .after all you have a lot of message to give and unless you write in simple language how will others understand?

Comment from Laurie Clayton
There appear to be an awful lot of 'nothings' in this offering, and I think my Scottish granny might be turning in her grave (Satirical use)at you use of the dialect.
You last line did give me an image of Mary and Joseph being turned away from the inn... poor looking in their attire, yet they held the greatest prize.

Comment from closetpoetjester
Nab, nap name na naething nae ... make your mind up. Well all I can say is nahhhhhhhh none of the above. Your not making this easy on yourself and yet I somehow think you relish each review and want to silently condemn every poor soul who just isn't on your page. Well, look...I'm sorry but who are we fooling here? No really, pal?
At this point I think I'm even insulting the poor One star putting it there. If you are trying to prove a point that you can parade letters of the alphabet in small clusters and attempts at vocabulary yet propped up with and coated in gold and actually somehow attain a heavenly ranking...I'll let you in on a secret. We're onto you.
Come on mate...out with the old and in with the new.
Write something relevant, fresh and coherent for your buck thirty and you'll honestly have my attention. At best a 3 or 4 with some suggestions for improvement.
Sorry but I have no way of improving what just isn't comprehendable...so with that said maybe try a different approach and that is one of legibility. Arm yourself with an English dictionary and give this a red hot go again. Forget the damn Authors notes and all the exasperating explanations.
I'm not trying to be unkind but the only cult status you are earning is that of one who cannot string a coherent word together yet offers fluff encased in gold for all to adorn. Of course some will praise you high. Well NOT this little black duck. My integrity remains. Earn your rating. I'm SO surprised at the level of hypocricy your reviews contain but of course people who aren't completely honest aren't helping things. With that said, I fully understand there are some who relate to your work and that is wonderful, but reviewers comments that don't match the rating do little to bolster a ranking with any substance. Sad but VERY true. It merely floats you aloft with high hollow hopes.
The two and three star reviews are at least some down to EARTH honest opinions, seriously. Take them on the chin and LEARN from what people are saying. I'm sure God is open to learning a trick or two from others, but I'm also sure God would be wanting you to earn your stripes and not buy them after all...you have SUCH a precious message to spread don't you? Just make it ledgible mate and you'll be on your way. There will also be less snickering. Just being honest...something others here quite simply WON'T be. It's ALL I can be. I really don't do BS well. Can you tell?
Regards P
PS yeah...yeah...yeah...I know...
THANKS

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
This is another unique poem, your style is easily recognisable now. I read some of your reviews, don't they hurt your at times? Some are incredibly rude. Thank you for the author notes, I thought your words were Scotish, having Scotish relations and of course, Nadir, is Spanish, I live in Spain. Well done! xsx Sandra

You poetry is so thought provoking and cerebral! In so few words you capture and display the essence of what poverty implies.
The beginning real impresses me
Be nadir, nada!
Awesome writer!

I have not read the author notes, I just let your poem speak for itself and it told me nada. I have absolutely no idea what it was about.
Why are you promoting these OLD works of yours? Do you want to publish them or what's the point? Why don't you write something new?

Well, i guess this one is talking about one being nothing and possessing nothing. The summary is that such a person is doomed. I think i have to agree. kudos
