Just an idea with the comments page.

Janis, just an idea, might not be a good one. no one will probably agree, and i might even be wrong.

By any chance can you make that poem comment link, link to the final page instead of the first one. I'm sure the author doesn't want to read their first page of comments everytime they click that link. And readers, such as myself , could benefit from this too. I really couldn't care less about reading 20+ comments about someone elses poem. And if I did, I'm sure i'll make the effort. It may even save you a little bandwidth.

Why not just use the comment box that is on the same page as the poem? If you are not wanting to read any of the comments, seems like that would be the most logical solution.
