why does hardly anyone rate/comment on my poems

please tell me why

It could be that if you don't write much, people don't see them... and also if you post in the forum and request people to comment on your poems then maybe you'll get a few...

Try commenting on other people's poems, most people on this website do respond!

I'll check out some of your stuff now!

I commented on one of them. But if you want people to read your stuff, you have to give them something worth reading...i dont mean to day you dont or you arent, because the poem i read was cute and worth the read. But its like every other poem i read. Their either about death and lost love or falling in love and then dieing, or being blindly in love. i mean its just so typical. if you want to have you stuff read write about it in a diffrent way that holds the readers attention.

And i agree with whom ever said to comment on other peoples stuff because that seems to be the best method I've found thus far.

the way i get noticed is by commenting on others poems. and sometimes posting a "will you please look..." doesnt hurt. i am new here too, but this method works. youalso get to know some great people.

The answer is that there are just so many poems going through this site at anyone time. With so many writers, just think of the probability of someone deciding to click onto your poems.

It does take a bit of time, but other writers do respond. it just takes some time. But keep writing.

I will also have a look when I have a bit of time.
