Common Courtesy

Common Courtesy

A Poem by Red Brick Keshner

`


I know what it's like to write and to not be read -
It's much like to speak out and not be heard.

And then there is being read but not gotten back to
It's like greeting someone hello and they just walk right past you.

You are almost sure they heard you at such close proximity
And yet it seems you've been cloaked with invisibility.

So when you post all of your work with such ferocity,
Then expect to be acknowledged, why not extend the same courtesy?

I totally agree with the sincerity of your piece. At times ive been physically unable to reply to everyone while also finding other pieces that i really want to review. Lately i would say i get reviews from good friends whom i need to repay but those who i do review, who are newer, rarely return the favour.

As for the poem as a construction; the rhyming mostly works though read and heard do not rhyme completely.

I know what is like when no one reads what you write,
Just to be heard is the biggest fight

That's not so good a improb there but i'm sure you can adjust your piece a tiny bit to make it perfect. Keep up the good words and dont loose the sentiments.

I think it's closer to being 'Wit' than an actual Poem. But it's still okay.

As a side note, I can understand why the rhymes might seem forced. It's really hard to rhyme three and four-syllable words without that happening.

Some of the rhymes seem a bit forced, but I love the content, particularly the last line.

I hope this is read and taken to heart; we could all do remember it.
