Just curious...........

Again, I think this is the greatest site I've ever found and I appreciate it. I am just curious how some peope's topics that are read are in multitudes and others have no contact at all. Is it just the wording to draw attention? I originally had hoped my work would be read at random and tried to figure out how so many people had many comments and votes while others had little. I finally decided to request mine be read and comments but when I return to the discussion page, there has been nobody else to read my requests.
Any ideas? Thank you!

LISTEN TO ME!!! NO ONE LISTENS TO ME DAMN IT. I WANT SOME FREAKING ATTENTION!!!!!!

No, I mean, I'm really sick of getting no god damn attention!!!

haha. As usual.

Thank you. I am truly just trying to find the various avenues and understand the overall process. There are some fabulous poets and artists work which I have read and since I had 6 people respond to this question, I consider that an improvement! Thanks and KK, I will read your work and give you attention. I am pretty content with the response I've gotten thusfar and always have time for others.

What are you talking about?

I just dont see how people get any recognition on this site!!!! With all the down voters and evil forum bashers.... I'm going to cry and go cut myself.

No attention, it's like detention.
I'm sick of all the forum contention.
Looking around for a little affection,
The spotlight's aimed in the wrong direction.
Could it be I'm posting in the wrong damn section?
If I am, it only takes a simple correction.
I'm sick of all the freaking rejection!
Can a girl get some decent reflection....
Of some of that spotlight, some of that attention!
If it takes just a bit of inspection,
I would gladly like to proclaim and mention,
That my poetry would be of your selection!
It's pure, undiluted, bliss and perfection!!
It's not nearly as tedious as tax collection,
Not as painful as an intravenous injection,
It's almost as enjoyable as a relieved erection! ;)
I promise you wont get an oppurtunistic infection...
It's a gaurantee, like a rigged general election.
Your hopes and dreams are like a resurrection,
Why? I have no recollection.
But I'm damn good at rhyming, see the connection?
Bottom line: I'm feeling too neglected to mention :(

haha, I pressed too long on the "r" key, trust me, I know my sex lingo ;)

Well, I'm glad I posted since Kaitlin answered the call
and wrote 22 lines, rhyming them all.
I do understand how the cradle can fall
when words and emotions can seem off the wall.
But nobody listens to my plea, oh so small
to comment and vote and release this ball
that's knotted and twisted and making me crawl
to find out if I'm worthy to write with you all.
Never let it be said that I didn't stand tall
and fight to the finish, though I never did brawl.
My words kept on flowing, not once did they stall
as I drove home each letter, my pen as my maul.
I shed not one tear, there's no reason to bawl
for surely, that may, lead to my downfall.
Now, I must go, to create rhyming scrawl
with hopes, that if read, it might just enthrall.

Well Bob, I agree
but I hope you can see
I question for all, not only for me.
It seems that some people sit back with glee
and rake in the votes, continuously.
I'm not really offended, since some are worthy
but there's others I wonder, if received honestly?
Guess I'll just sit back and accept discreetly
anything that is sent, even occasionally.
