Should i leave?

many people on this site are being kind of rude! saying that they dont like my poems! I dont have any problems with that but you should not be rude about it. I just joined this site and many people are being mean. My poems that ARE true mean a lot to me because i have gone through a lot lately with everything and so please dont be mean about them! tell me if you dont like them or how i can make them better but dont send me messages saying that they are crap. And the poems that are not true say it!

comment nice please?!?!

Amber

well can you give me tips on each one? or a couple? but on the things so others can read it?

If you truly love writing poetry, then what other people think shouldn't really matter. If you want to improve your poetry, then all the rude things other people say still should be ignored, and all the constructive criticism would be the ones heard. Don't let rude comments have such an impact on your writing.

Or maybe if you're really that scared of rude comments, don't post your poems on here. Seeing that "they mean a lot to me".. "all that I've been through"... maybe you should put them all in a personal weblog.

dont leave amber i like your poetry keep it up ;)

Amber,

All of the above posts are correct, and I agree full heartedly.

1. Dont let the rudeness get to you
2. If you cannot handle opinions or critiques then write on the bottom of your poems or on your profiile that you dont want them
3. Leave the site if you must, but this really is a warm and loving place once you find where you fit.
4. Most of the rude people are on the discussion boards, and its not that they are rude, its just that until you prove yourself they make you jump through a few hoops
5. Stay away from JPM if you cant take the truth or harsh opinions
6. Raw emotion and actual experiances dont make good poetry. If you need personal help all of us are here to help you, but when it comes to poetry no one will say its good just because its meaningful.

I hope you dont leave, just learn how to cope and get a bit tougher skin.

HEY THEY JUST DONT APPRECIATE UR POEM I BET U ITS GREAT

I agree with JPM
Its harsh but who said real life was easy he's stated some great and valid points
=Eirisa=

i read some of your poems want suggestions youll get suggestions
first try to get your poems to move smoothly,
second try to add tons of emotions
third add details of your emotions
forth ignore the rude comments and listen to suggestions

Take it easy Amber...i checked out the commnets from 6 random poems of yours, and i couldn't find one comment that was rude in any way. There were a few people who weren't particularly keen on your work and offered ways they thought you could improve the piece...but thats hardly reason to leave..if anything it's reason to stay.

Chin up lassy!...it's the heat 'o the fire that tempers the sword...as we say in Scotland.

JPM once again, extremely well said.

Excuse me miss but I can tell by the way this post was written that your not looking for an answer, your looking for attention. Your hoping people will read your poetry because of this then comment saying, "o those people are so mean, your so good!" bla bla bla

Your not a true poet if you don't appreciate critisizm.
Also, when you replied asking why people couldn't give you tips seperatly from comments...thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
comments are for people's opinion on the piece, not for just positive outlooks.
hate to sound stupid but this is the only word I could come up with to reply to that...
DUH

so, my advice to your question, yes. leave the site, please.

Go Pink LoL

I must say I agree with a lot that has been written in this forum.
Sorry, hun, the truth is a harsh thing, but soon you will appretiate everything that has been said.

Well should i leave cause i dont know but i geuss i am the worst poet here no one has been to my poems and read the for a while so i dont know if im any good or not

Is your caps lock key broken?

hey amber you shouldent leave cause these assholes say your poems suck let me ask you a ? did you think your poems suck when you wrote them no you dident so dont think about anyone else opinion only think of your opinion

Amber, it really shouldnt bother you. You posted your work on this site right? You have to accept all that comes along with doing so. They may seem rude because they are giving an opinion, and it shouldnt matter if they dont like your work. What matters is your doing what you love.

People who tend to write these are not true poets in my opinion. True poets will take comments on their work no matter if they are good or bad and not complain about it. I'm sorry Amber, but its just like what JPM said and everyone else who has posted on this topic.

Leave if you want to, if you stay you should try and accept the comments you recieve and not complain if they may not be what you want to hear.

dont feel bad about it

they have GOT TO BE JELOUS!!!!!!!!!!

hope it stops!!

**ghetto chocolate**

^^^ Why dig up a post from the begining of the year, this is already something way in the past????

**Gong**

I don't think you should leave just because some ppl say they don't like your poems. I only put my poems on here to show them off to the world and maybe get some opinions on them. Other than that I don't think you should leave. Hope I helped...
