Poetry versus Discussions

India
March 9, 2013 8:45am CST
Hi all :) It's been a little long since i posted something. I would like to share my personal observation here. It's about the number of responses i got lately. I saw that my discussions about poems mostly got more responses than my other normal ones. Maybe i was because they like my poems and i am happy for it. What do you think? Should i continue posting my poems or start normal ones? Please do share your views.

maybe your poem is more interesting than your normal topic for discussions. hahahaha just kidding. Mylot members are affectionate group of people they want love, miseries, happiness, problems, issues and so on about life and relationships. so your poems fit in very well. and I am happy for you that you finally got your grasp for the topic. Note: This is purely my observation and no scientific studies have been conducted to this matter.

hmmm not really... it is still different when you have people that you can touch and hug. Here these are just words, created by mind I could be sincere I couldn't be sincere but who knows and who will know.

As I believe has already been pointed out to you, just posting a poem does NOT make a discussion. If, however, the discussion is intended to be ABOUT poetry in general or a particular poem, that is a different matter. Just make sure that the way that you introduce the topic does not make it a 'poll type' discussion!

Naturally, I read the other responses in this discussion. I had not read all your subsequent replies, of course, because a number have been posted since I responded. I seem to recall that you were involved in a discussion where The_Lamb_Lies_Down commented on a poem posted in isolation. If it was not you, then I may have been wrong to say that it was already pointed out to you. I was merely making the Guidelines clear. I do not expect to have to refer to previous discussions to be able to make a relevant response.

I don't think you have read my previous posts. What you said now is good as per mylot guidelines, but maybe you should have took a look at those posts before replying here like this, don't you think?

Never mind, owlwings. It's ok. Mike, i meant to say, if you have not read my previous posts, you won't understand what i am talking about here.

I hadn't seen your discussions that used a poem, but I just went and had a look, and you do get a lot of responses. I think it may be because you open up the discussion,through a poem, that makes it possible for people to say whatever they want, which is nice. As there is no question with which to agree or disagree it just opens up the discussion. So I would carry on, its add something new and valuable to mylot, which is always good.

Hi nitinnair89! Hey, I am a poetry lover though I am not really good at it. I love poems thats why I even included it in my interest. It would be fine if people find time reading, commenting and appreciating it. Let us both continue what we do love doing. God bless.

I think you do well on both, so just continue posting poem and normal one, whichever that come to your mind naturally during mylotting, i am sure many people here will find them equally interesting and eager to respond with their two cents for your reading pleasure. But if you insist on just posting poem, i will not try to stop you either, that is fine with me if you hold on to that view

Yeah. Rightly said. Sometimes too much of the same thing won't do good. Thanks for your opinion.

Why are you so confused about it? You are a good poet you write what comes from your heart. Carry on with your poetic work so we can respond to your poetic discussions. :-D
