Have you ever rated your poems under 5?

Have you ever rated your poems under 5?

I have lol. When I feel that the poem don't meet up to my expectations.. I voted lower than a 5 before.

I rate others under five once in a while. But I comment. I leave mine alone.

^^^^lol. Yes, so as not to hurt your own feelings.

And no, I don't rate my own poems. At least, I never have. I already know what they are worth to me.

Thanks!! Just reminded me of a poem of mine I wished was rated lower, I just went and rated it lower. It didn't deserve to be a 5, it deserved to be a 2...

:D Now I can be happy when I see that poem and it's rating.

I rate poems... oddly enough... from 1 to 5, depending on whether the poem is a bad poem or a brilliant poem. But I've never left a 1 or a 2 without a comment.

The rest is up to the ego of the writer. Which is interesting because my received 1s are rarely accompanied by a comment. Which is also fine. :-)

To rate you own poetry is proper is it not?

Don't tell me that you think that all your poems are a 5? lol
Well obviously, some of us do. I have seen scribble scrabble with a perfect 5.

Surely there have been times when you read one of your poem a week from when it was written and say to yourself.. huh - wth was I thinking? Then maybe edit it, or even delete it.

Odd would be that everytime you write a poem, you would completely agree with yourself that it is a work of excellence. The complete and totally shizzerz! The bombz!

More plausible would be that people don't rate their own poetry lower than 5. Instead they vote it a 5 even though it don't deserve it, but they resort to editing it and editing it until they think it is indeed a 5. or maybe a close 4. lol

When I start posting mine, I will vote it a 1. Just to see if it stays dead, or rise like .. well.. like the dude in the bible.
(most likely it will stay as stiff and dead as a beef jerky. :( )

Now that would be confindence in your writing abilities.

Oh. Our own poems. We can rate our own poems? How?

Just vote as if you would any other poem.

I think I'll give that a miss.

=O! ..Your names Spiderman!!

i only vote poems as a five if i think they are extra specially good, mostly i vote threes or fours, so if i vote a five, u know its good! i dont vote on my own poems tho, thats for other people to do.

I nefver rate my own poems. But if I did, yes, some would be under five.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes, but be warned... I am not the real Spiderman. :)

I use to pretend I was a superhero when I had to cope with my parents divorce.. Spiderman became a safe haven in my mind. I posted some adventures already of when I was little. I will post more soon.
and yes, I rated them a 2 a 3 and a 4. lol
the vote don't mean anything really.

Why do they call you s υ ρ є я g ι я ł ღ ?

I hope it's not for the same reason :(

many time wen a poem does not connect to me i do rate below 5

sometimes , but i usally rate 4 and 5
theres many good qoutes and peoms , on this site
; )
take care

-sam

mostly 4 and 5 for me sometimes i have been lower but explained why xx

if i decide to vote on my own poems ... i don't just put 5 all the time ... i vote wat i think it deserves ... if it's one of my favourites that i think i've done i good job in then I'll put 5 ... but usually i either put less than 5 or not vote at all ... most of the time ... i like commenting on ppls poems no matter wat vote i giv them ... i like comments and if i like them then other ppl might lyk them 2 ... ^^

I try to read poems other than my own. Not all my poems are fives. Some are much higher. some are much lower.

Rainbow slider: Some of your poems are better than excellent??

i've edited mine a couple of times and i don't rate my own poems. just because i don't want to.

Why do they call you s υ ρ є я g ι я ł ღ ?

I hope it's not for the same reason :(

^^^^I changed my name, But anyways, It was Supergirl cause.. err.. I dunno really? It was just for fun, I guess. Tehe.
