A Little Upset...

I was requested to take off a poem that my granddaughter wrote and she's eight. It's not like she writes everyday, if she did I would have considered getting her own account. I get her other week-end and she kinda looked forward to seeing how many votes or comments she gets. I knew it want my work...but it was definitely my granddaughters. I really didn't see no harm in putting it on...but I do know a rule is a rule. And I'm not hard to get a long with. I've taken it off and I will explain to her why. You know sometimes its hard to say no, when the poem she wrote brought me to tears... It was about God and what she believed. I do know there are a few on here I've read in the past that the person didn't write. It's one they found and wanted to share. So all I can say, I've done what I was asked to do. But there are others. I'm just a little upset because it was hers and I know how she looks forward to knowing who voted or commented. But she'll be O.K. I'll explain it to her. I do love this website and I do try to abide by the rules, but this is one that I seen no harm in but I pushed that delete button with a tear in my eye and it truly hurt me. But just to whomever that checks all these out, you found mine so look for the others. I appreciate being told and I cooperated. Love to all, Ann

Thats annoying but it's the rules aye. I think you should still set up an account for her even if she only has one poem on there because then she'll still get comments and votes...

I see no harm in putting the poem up.

There are a lot of reasons why people have accounts on P&Q. It's not like putting up an 8 year olds work is going to get you a lot of recognition that you dont deserve, but a rule is a rule. Must be implimented, I suppose.

I say not a big deal.

Thanks for your input. I didn't put this on just to draw attention and make a big scene. This was a pure simple poem from a little girl and there are so many others that should have been gotten before me, but oh well, I wasn't going to post this in the forum, but I see others speak their peace so why couldn't I. I'm one that trys to be honest and I'm not trying to score points with anyone. This upset me and the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. So get the others so things can be done fair. This will be my last post about this...I still love this site...regardless... Ann

*claps* Yay! I love Bob's distorted and unstable mind! Ha ha. Kidding, good point Bob. : -).

1. ***You must be the author of the poem.***
2. No comment/vote requests in the title.
3. Do not submit poem in capital letters.
4. No violence. Erotic/profanity only in the
category of explicit poetry.
5. Check your poem for spelling errors.
6. Save your poem before you submit it.

I don't remember there being that many rules when i first came to this site. We were able to post other work as long as we put it wasn't by us.

But i understand why it is wrong. I don't understand rule number two? What's the big deal with that? And number 3? The others i completely understand though...
