Wow, an epic rant indeed stating many truths. All writers want their work recognised, but really why do they do it? For me, I do it to please myself and pat myself on the back, if others want to join in, then that's fine. Have faith in one's own ability. Many great writers are overlooked, for example, Paul Beatty turned down by 18 publishers then went on to win the booker prize! This story says it all. I enjoyed your poem very much and I usually read and write shorter poetry. An amazing write. Love Dolly x

Thank you for the fantastic review, Dolly. Yeah, I write mainly for my own enjoyment. This was just about some injustices that goes on in the contest venue sometimes. I really appreciate the gracious stars and that you liked my lengthy rant, lol. Thank you again.

Well! That was an eye full and an eye opener. As a (believe it or not) newbie here (yes I know my profile says '04) it has given me something to think about when I consider paying for coins and as a result reviews and stars.
All in all I enjoyed the way you played with words, rhyme, subtlety and outright gnashing of teeth. I am learning a great deal about the formal forms of poetry every time I read an obviously talented word-smith like you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent.

Hey, Jackie, hello. Thank you so much for the excellent review and the big sixer. Yeah, even though I gripe and whine sometimes, I still love entering these contests. There are many times when what I wrote about happens but there are times when they don't too. That's how I've learned most of my writing skills is by entering the contests on here. That's pretty well all I do on here anymore, enter these silly contest. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars, J. I'm humbled. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again. And let me say welcome to the site even though you've been here since 04, lol. I've been on here for a few years, so if you ever have any questions just ask. I'll do my best to help. Have a great night, Jackie.
;)
