...A Showcase For Ph Poets: February 2015: Section 'A'... [sharing Poems; Not A Contest; Monthly On Bri Edwards' Ph Site] Comments

A great selection of poems of what we could have missed if it was not for this page, a really great idea.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? ? ? ? I received a comment on this February showcase, from my PH friend, Savita Tyagi. BUT it came to my comments inbox only; it did NOT show up on the “A Showcase For PH Poets: February 2015: section ‘A’….[SHARING poems; NOT a contest; monthly on Bri Edwards’ PH site]” poem page. I hope this doesn’t happen to any other readers who take enough time to comment. If it does, I shall try to do as I’m doing here, and see that comments go where they are supposed to go!

[SHARING poems; NOT a contest; monthly on Bri Edwards' PH site] Member: Savita Tyagi Comment: Just read Brian Johnston's poem and loved it. Few days back read Valsa's poem. Even with blank mind when she picks a pen amazing rhythm and rhymes follow her command. Read Bri's poem. (No humor!) still liked it very much. In Natural world there is beauty even in death and destruction. Daniel Brick's poem has such an unexpected dramatic end. At the end of the day I guess we all want to close our eyes and go back to lives and events happened before us. Hope to read few more later. Thanks Bri for all your efforts. bri :)

submissions to February's showcase are almost finished. i'll run a new showcase for March and hope i'll get the great response i've gotten here so far. in March i plan to allow two poems per ooet again, but i'll be allow the shorter of the two to be (maybe?) 24 lines or less instead of 12 lines or less. please feel free to leave comments here or on the individual poets' sites. a PH friend, Ruth Walters, asked me the purpose for me soliciting participants in this endeavor. here is what i wrote to her..................... : it is an opportunity (though not a proven one yet) for poets, who i have had some PH contact with the last few years, to put some poems................................................................................................................................. (which they particularly would want others to read) in a showcase/spotlight. granted, my site is my site and, just because another poet's poem in posted on my site, there is no guarantee that anyone but i will see them. BUT i like to think some of the poets featured on the.................................................................................................... showcase (at least) will read some of the poems. maybe you or i will get some new fans/friends/correspondents to enjoy here. i know i have a lot of poems i really like (that i have submitted to my poem list on my site) which rarely, if ever get looked at. i think lots of times the readers are apt to look at new poems only and not look at older ones. here you can put new or old poems. sorry (sort of) that i don't take the time to read more of yours; and other members' poems. we all should be pretty satisfied to have this nice (free) site to display our 'works', whether anyone comments or not. in any case, it doesn't do any harm.... the showcase i mean.....i don't think! but i don't mean to twist anyone's arm (or leg) to send me a title or two. at least i do read them and i may get around to commenting on them all if i haven't already.

NEXT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

NEXT MONTH (March) i plan to again allow poets to submit two poems, BUT i may change the approximate maximum number of lines for the smaller (of two) poem from 12 to 20-30 lines. this would be to accommodate poets who have longer (than about 12 lines) poems they would rather submit. [does that sound better to anyone? is anyone out there? ? ] of course i can change the rules at any time, 'cause i'm the king here! ! ! ! :) bri

I need to come up with some new fresh poems! :)
