You know what Sharon? I put my poems in threads too if I think it goes with the topic or what has been said. You shouldn't have to feel bad about expressing yourself your own way.
I know poetry can be a very personal thing and is a way to help get feelings out and I know you are hurt.
Just take the idiots for what they are...idiots
I do recommend making a single poem thread devoted to your poems so they all can be read in one thread. That way too they won't be so obvious to people to attack because they have nothing better to do. Those of us who appreciate your poems will look to see where your thread is. I think you should take all the poems you posted and put them in it and any new ones you write. Give it your very own personal name so people know they are YOUR poems.

sweety,
All of my poem were put on the right thread.. I want to thank you for all your kind words..If this was the first time,it wouldn't bother me. I'm grateful lion-ness for your friendship.. chance
What I meant was making a single thread and titling it something like "Sharon's(Chance) Poem Thread" and putting all your poems into just that thread. That way all your poems will be readily accessible too instead of drifting to the bottom of the forum. I see alot of people who love your poems and hey, ain't fair to them.

thanks my friends, the main point here is I should be allowed to post like everyone else.and if someone one doesn't like it simple dont read it.the rules should be for everyone, why should I have to do it differently..I dont feel its fair to the others that put there work here too Lion-ness those three poems that showed up at the same time was put in at different times,people commmented on them wich brought them back up.. I had nothing to do with how they came back up.. Thank you and Laurie..for your support..Sharon

Freedom of speech. Say watever you want whenever you want, in the form of prose or poetry, whichever you want. If it offends someone, they are too sensitive, not your fault at all. Keep posting your poetry.
Sharon, I love reading your poems like so many others do. I hope you keep writing. As you know there is a therapeutic effect to the writing, sharing of feeling and a poetry is a beautiful art form. People who respond negatively must understand that there is a heck of a lot more to poetry than that what first meets the eye. For some people it is the only way they have to express themselves.
I'm with everyone above. DON'T YOU DARE STOP!!! :) Forget the idiots and continue doing what you love. I know I love reading them even tho I don't always comment :)

past.I posted only to have it enjoyed.It came from
my heart.
But lately people have chose to remark negatively
and use other writers post which is not fair to them.
I feel that is not fair to them.
poetry to me was a way of expressing yourself.I must
have been wrong..I never intentee to offend anyone.
I put my poems in the right threads.
Again thanks for those who have enjoyed them..
Sharon A fike.......Chance
