I'm giving you a standing ovation girl. This is brilliant and I couldn't have said it better myself.
I for sure am sickened with the front page of late. How reviews in hundreds of fives could possible be right?? Yup not for me - even reviews from that one on my work leave me scratching my bloody head.
It's rather embarrassing to look at that work and think wtf - then I usually wonder how is this showcasing FanStory - all it does is pull it way down. Yet I gaze numbed and shake my head how is he able to do that????
Here's a sixer cause your brilliant - your rhythm and rhyme girl makes me weep - how the heck do you do it so easily and so bloody well - envious free verser:D
Thanks for the vent it help me too.

Awww M, thank you. No need to stand honey...you can say all this sitting down...haha
I really appreciate your support, I said it all in my poem and I do welcome the responses and voices that are ringing out in unison.
Funny, for my 52c I got 150 look in's, 30 - 40 reviews of quality and 15+ sixers.
Do ya think this struck a poetic chord? ME thinks YES. LMAO
Loved your review...many thanks Maureen.
I really appreciate your candid thoughts on the Fanstory showcase thing...I actually googled up fanstory as I couldn't get on here through my normal channel...and one of the blogs asked if it was a scam or real...I'm starting to wonder mate.
Cheers P
PS I see the shit is gone from the front page. I can only hope HE followed suit and took some bloody good advice...from moi. Teehee

Please do not hold your breath with your last few lines - don't want to see ya going blue and purple...

Comment from Joan E.
From one of your Sisters of the Hood! Thanks for calling it forthrightly as you see it--no "repentance" needed. "Do onto to others..." with "tact" are the watchwords. I'm amazed you could vent your spleen in rhymed quatrains. You named no names to protect the guilty; so, I expect to continue to read your posts worth at least 2 cents! Cheers- Joan
P.S. I forgot to mention how effective your title, "tumour" simile and "boat" metaphor are.

Thanks Joan...I think if you want to vent badly enough you could in any syllable count! LOL Much appreciate your warm words and I must fix that typo...thanks for the support.

Comment from GarthL
That's the best 52c worth I think I've earned reviewing. Indie referred me here and I'm glad I took it up. Crystal clear, straight to the point and whilst I am only a relative newcomer here there certainly are some anomalies with the system and definitely some personalities that leave a bit, or a lot, to question.
Great abcb rhyme scheme and you certainly let whoever it is have with both barrels blazing. It's true that ranking has little to do with quality or talent in some instances that I've observed but it is a bit of a game after all. I do admire the stance you've taken and can see that the cause is being taken up by others here now too, very well done!
Without activists with conviction nothing changes and history has taught us that I'd think. I enjoyed your tirade very much thank you, well written!

Wow what a review Garth, thanks for the support.
I usually shoot with both barrels and take NO prisoners.
I have to stand for what I believe in which is cult figures attempting to take over this site with ill informed verse and incoherent not to mention incomplete sentences.
Loved your review and show of support.
Cheers P

Comment from vkmack
OMG! I laughed and held my breath--and I ain't lyin'. I wondered what others would think? Personally, love the rhyme, meter, yadda, yadda. You know it's good work. But the point here is your hutzpah, and, pal, you've got it. No idea what brought this on, but you aren't saying anything I myself have not thought. You just have all that courage that you mustered and screwed to the sticking place, and I envy the heck outta that! Fantastic job with this. You can have your 52 cents back. I'd have read this one for nuthin'. Agree, agree, sure as heck agree. Bravo, CPJ!

LOL...YOU held your breath? LMAO...I think sometimes you have to say "to hell with what they think" and just go for broke...you are either gonna pull it off or you're not...
I've just added up the Bravos...I think I'm up there...haha
Well I made my point and thats the main thing. People are also supporting it. Lets hope people either rate drivel properly or just by pass it...which is what I plan to do from now on...not real sure this one wants the little Closet's help.
Your SIXER has made my day so many thanks and please have a great one.
Cheers P

Comment from MidnightWriter4U
While I do have my belief in God, I would say that when reviewing any post, I do so on an equal basis. Each review is based on the merit of the work, nothing more, as it SHOULD BE DONE. I can understand your frustration. btw: you put this beautifully--great rhyming scheme. I could do without one word and appreciated the warning; but the "muster" "buster" was a fantastic rhyme! Having religion does not necessarily make someone honest. Good job! (I especially liked this;
But touting words like Lord Supreme
can leave your readers reeling
but, I usually laugh and feel sorry for them instead of reel. People behave that way when they are insecure in their own abilities.)
Enjoyed!

Well I thank you for your honesty and a delightfully supportive review. I have NOTHING against religion...just badly arranged words! Haha
Have a great day.
Cheers P

You are welcome. People don't understand that religion is not God. One can be religious about anything. You have a great day also. MN :)
-
I like the way you think.
I believe FAITH and RELIGION are actually two seperate things that can go hand in hand ultimately.
But with no religion like I said, I still have an inner faith of my own that I'll get things done and be a good neighbour and friend to my fellow man.
Just because you are stamped with RELIGION doesn't make you Christian.
You have to SHOW that side I feel.
Anyhow, thanks for your time...much appreciated.
P
-
That is key. Not saying one is a Christian. But, being a Christian. Still sinful, still making mistakes, but trying to live as a Christian. Which includes not judging others. MN;)
-
YAY.
Why don't more people think like us?
I do agree with the Do unto others and Live and let live...but I can't stand by and let someone crush the poetic abiility and inspiration on this site for God or cult like status.
-
I can honestly say that someone crushing others for whatever reason is not of God. I have gotten some of those type reviews and correspondence, but I consider the source. I have also gotten nasty reviews and comments because I wrote of God. Not everyone can just brush it off, though. Whether or not people are ever published or succeed with their writing, they still deserve to enjoy it. Those that put others down out of spite will do so for whatever reason they can find to do it. It doesn't really have anything to do with a religious belief. It is something they do to feel powerful. Enjoy your writing and encourage others to do so also, no matter what anyone else has to say about it. I know I will. MN :)
Comment from catch22
NOOO! Sorry for the exclamation point. I wanted to give this one a six, but I'm blocked my friend. I love your no-holds-barred tell it like it is attitude--refreshing as anything here on FS (where honesty often takes a backseat to sensitivity). The quatrains flow beautifully and you delivered an honest and genuine message to the FS community, while exposing the hypocrisy of many who've been giving fluff reviews to rack up dollars. What more can I say, than "you rock"?

Loved your review, many thanks for the support. No need to fence, just say what you mean and I don't think I scare too many just quietly...perhaps mildly amuse? LOL Well thats what I'm hoping but obviously there's a lesson in this one! Haha

Comment from barkingdog
I so agree. I wondered if the poets had been invaded by some alien being or a body snatcher. You voiced your opinion with style and true poetic form. Bravo.
This review is worth approximately .001 on the ranking system.

Well I thank you for the info about the percentages...I'll be sure to be taking a wide birth of real crap from now on...guess its gonna take most of us to do that to quash those badly arranged posts that insult our poetic splendor.
Cheers for a great review, and informative.

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
Bravo my friend for posting this excellent poem. This site is so full of babbling idiots. I am selective and very picky about who I read and review. There are too many authors that are favored, just look at who wins most of the contests. I don't promote because in the end, what do you receive for it, NOTHING!!!. You spend hours reviewing to gain member dollars and you need a minimum of $80 to get featured and in the end, you still get NOTHING!!!
Thank you for this very open and honest piece of poetry. Job well done,,,,,Jim
