In sum, it is my humble opinion, that your showcase, in one way or another, helped Poets connected and also brought to our attention some of the good poems that must be read. Thank you, Bri, for all your efforts.
DEAR ROSE MARIE, BRI HAS HIS OWN CHOICE, AS USUAL, there are many many better poems than the he is referring too, but he only reads no best poems, so sorry to be utmost honest
Sometimes I passed some of the showcases because of time constraints. Thanks for the notifications , sometimes it helped in tracking the new poems posted. I agree with Kim Barney's comments and your observation.
To put a showcase requires valuable time and efforts. The endeavor might be taken for granted by others but there will always be some Poets who in one way or another find their time to read some of the poems included in the show case.
Hi Bri, more often I can not get to read recent poems submitted by poets.Browsing a poem or a poet is not possible now.So I can not read poems I want to read.Thank you for your amazing showcases and including some of my poems in them
You sure have done lots of research for these comments. PHD in creativity you deserve! Ph sure have changed but We The Humans find ways around everything. Even a slow learner like me!
Oh, maybe there were 10? commenters on the four (4) showcases? ;)
I just found this poem (as Kim Barney said he had) as #86 on a 'best poems' list [see his comment below]. Yes, Kim, PH IS crazy! ! ! bri BUT IT IS FREE! !
'Flying at Night' was #1 on the 'best member poem' list for months and months, and then one day it just disappeared! How logical is that? From #1 to nowhere overnight?
Congratulations, Bri! This 'poem' is at #86 on the 'best member poem' list! That just shows that the PH staff really appreciates great poetic talent --- or they are completely crazy.
Kim, do you refer to my Nov. non-showcase of poems? ? ? ? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This I may have to check out. Duh! bri
I'm 'blown away' by your comment, mister, mame, thing. All I could say was sort of like a laugh from Woody Woodpecker of my childhoon-time TV cartoon shows. : ) bri
You say this site used to be more showcase-friendly. That may be true, but it also used to be more USER-friendly.
So true, SO TRUE. That's one reason, I believe, that I have fewer comments and from fewer commenters. I used to use my friends list to 'advertize/advertise' showcases. bri ;)
BUT, ...it seems the length of poem comments can now be longer than they'd been allowed to be after the decline of PH a couple years ago. Of course some might disagree with my use of 'decline' for that facelift here. bri
Ok, let ME be 'the first one to comment on this poem! ' FIVE STARS. Ho ho. ;) bri
Re Sylvia's reply to Rose Marie below: Sylvia, whose 'CHOICE' do you suggest I have? I don't choose yours for a reason (or two) and that is my choice. Try making youir own showcase. : ) bri
