Exactly, nicely said. On this site I can pick those who dislike my writings or maybe dislike me, just by the writer's body language from reading heaps of theirs and they politely thanking me for reviewing, but not one review from them in return. lol It speaks volumes to me, a complete give away on where I stand lol. I enjoyed this and i keep reviewing those who despise me for they are good writers lol.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

I can relate to your review my friend - strong words - but perfectly apt message... Thank you Andrew... :-)

[andrew mitchell]

I don't mean no disrespect to any writer either, sometimes my work will offend or my style is poor but their lack of response does speak volumes and maybe their character, after all its just writing and its suppose to be just for fun. lol. Cheers Phil.

this really captures the direction society has taken, the idea that everything has to be given worth and value by other people which dictates people's lives especially online where judgement is at the forefront of it all
ignorance from others may result in hurt but it does not devalue the person and what they might have to say, although the idea that value can come from within is truly lost at this moment in time and this captures that attitude simply and powerfully

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Many thanks for you insightful comments my friend - :-)

[Carola]

very true Phil, i can relate to that.
even if you speak your mind, people (family & friends) can't hardly wait for you to shut-up so they can interject with their own thoughts & opinions. people are really only interested in what they want to say. have you noticed this doesn't happen with strangers.

When we are faced with such indifference to our words, our person, it shows great contempt for each other's humanity. One of the great sins of the world. Phill, I see you have chosen to deal with some very difficult subjects. May wisdom shine down on you as you do so.
Regards,
Tom

Being ignored is unpleasant. When I was little, it was still very much a case of children should be seen and not heard. Even back then I had much to say but felt that sting, nowadays it's like water off a duck's back, it doesn't bother me as much. Brevity which can initiate a debate. Well done Phill.

I do agree. If your opinion means little to others. We will say less. A lot said my friend in the short poetry.

Very often the loss is theirs, and sadly so.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

So true - I've even seen small children being ignored by their young parents - too busy on 'social media. Thanks for your kind review Stella... :-)

[Stella Armour]

i have been very tempted to remark on that, but manage to hold my tongue :(

[Cherrie]

Ignored: the loss always belongs to those who fail to see you. The good news is it doesn't make you less but it will give you plenty of time to find a true connection.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Yes Cherrie - very true - thank you for your review...:-)

I love the power the three line poem always delivers.

Once you selected the mood then its just up to the reader to discover it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i totally agree with this sentiment...i think sometimes in childhood we may feel this way.
Alas, we feel we have nothing to contribute that is worthwhile...and unfortunately that feeling can stick with us to adulthood, and make us feel shy about speaking up, even then.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Thanks Jacob - you are right - today's hurt(s) can knock down a whole set of future confidence dominoes...:-)

[Ken Simm.]

Couldn't agree more Phil. Pithly and precisely written truth.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Cheers Ken - you hit the nail on the head - :-)

[lightsong]

Specially when it came from those whom we love, it hurts so much when You feel ignored by them, our words are everything to us poets, and when we don't hear their echoes inside others, again specially those whom we want them to read, yes one of the worest of feelings... I hope You are not feeling it in any way my friend.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Believe me - some family members can be more insensitive than strangers - thanks for the review my friend... :-)

[lightsong]

this my friend is a sad truth I know 😒 stay well and happy 🤗🌸🌷🌸
