some people are for flaming others or calling them sychophants when they do not blast other's poems...I just have one thing to say. If and only IF I see something that I can CONSTRUCTIVELY criticize will I give a critical remark. and then, doing so with TACT. I will also accept Constructive criticism with ease if done so tactfully. If done as a jab at the person, or insultingly, I will ignore it. I appreciate all of KMC, and I am glad when someone brings a suggestion to this thread or any other. Rudeness, however, is just unacceptable unless we are all joking.

When you are older you will realise:

1) It doesn't matter if some people dislike you.

2) You can't please everybody.

3) Honesty is a far more valuable quality than empty platitudes that mean less than the sum total of their letters.

4) All criticism is constructive, it just depends if you agree with it or not.

You keep saying that: when you are older.... Well then here's a question for ya OBLH; how old exactly are you????

In stars or galaxies?

Seriously, how old are you??

I'm not ageist, so my age isn't really an issue. It's only an issue when you and your pals start making immature and ignorant remarks. For example, I haven't seen one comment that you have made regarding anyone's poetry that is divergent from "Ooo, I like it. It's good." - These kind of comments are essentially the same as stating "I agree"; they add nothing to the discussion. I'd prefer someone to tell me how terrible my poems are and explain why, than simply state "Good". It's so boring.

But actually how old are you?

When I am older?!? Hmm.. to gratify the fool or not...

1. I dont give a whoop if you dont like me; Just dont post on my thread.

2. Pleasing anybody is not why I post here. I am doing this for myself.

3. "Empty Platitudes" ??? When I post, unless joking I fully mean it.

4. Not ALL criticism is constructive. Like I said, if done tactfully It is. If not, you are just wasting our time and forum space.

Here is a tip OLBH. Stop posting on my thread. Period. You dont like it, stop coming to this thread. I will not type about you, or pay anymore attention to your posts, Here or elsewhere. If you continue to post after this, I will report you and continue to do so until you are removed. I do not wish to spen my time having to sort through the garbage you have placed on KMC.

And folks said there is no GOOD in GOODBYE.... hahaha!

I agree with ya DW. I'd like to see some more poetry now please.

Sorry for the rant folks. how bout that poetry??

For Coldfire

You say you always see me laughing, and to tell you the truth I am.
For here without fear I can show to all the one I hide, the man.
I unafraid of my face can open up and reveal my heart and soul.
You can reject me here and ignore me, or accept me as a whole.
I feel as free as my dreams of flight when I can type away my care
And I can see beauty in those who freely their own souls bare.
Some like you can make me laugh and grin at the crazy way you are,
Some like Tass can make me weep as I remember my own scars,
Then you have JustJakk, my pal in the real, my true go to guy,
Vaya, of course, our elven maid, a vixen so far from shy.
Poor man bordom sitting in his one-horse town, I have been there too,
And we all love Trickster the KMC Jester, I'm kept in stiches with you.
Lady Syren makes sure with Lil' Bitchiness that we all behave,
And of course, one of my fellow warriors, The mighty Prince of Blades,
Misha is last on the list but not least, I pine for her return,
The great KMC family, we're all here watching the net-fire burn.
So bring the marshmellows, bring on the weenies, get some steaks and beer,
Hmm.. second thought get coke instead, adn let us all enjoy this year.

hahah! a bit of fun for everyone, both young and old alike.
You have all touched me in a good way inside, and I enjoy each and everyone of you. Glad to be here! Ciao!

There ya go Cold. 🙂 🙂 🙂

If seeing your face could brighten my day, what could your smile not do?
If your love's embrace could lift your spirit, why would you be untrue?
Explain if you will why you left her there, 2 and 1 on the way?
Tell me please if you dare, what was wrong that October day?
For in that hovel, with that young girl, you promised safekeeping.
But all your words turned to ash in my mouth, you left her weeping.
Questions arise; Was it me? did I do something wrong? Why?
You told us you loved all of us! The truth, or another F@#$!@! Lie?!
Tell me now, that I have grown, and we stand face to face.
Don't flatter me, or lie anymore, I need the truths in this place.
Let me know why another was better, was it too much to bear?
Tell me please! Why did you go? Tell the truth if you dare.
This weighs so heavily upon my heart, this pain hurts so bad.
Only you can cure this ache, Please, tell me the truth, Dad.

for my father.

^^That was so touching. weep

Thanks for the tip, but I shall continue to post wherever I feel my opinion is warranted. This just so happens to be a public forum, my child...

You made a comment. I responded with my opinion. Deal with it, or don't post.

Thanks Cold, Tass. Hope you both have a great Thursday and Friday! I really love KMC, so I said, hey, why not write about the folks I have met and sorta know some... haha!

Lol well you captured everybody in the poem very nicely :happy; And just the way you wrote it tells us a bit more about you too lol.

I think it's cool that we inspire each other here 😄

It is one of the reasons I love KMC. Nice to be inspired after so much nothingness. 🙂

That's one reason I love KMC too; inspiration is everywhere you look, and through ever person you talk to 😊

Yup! 😄
