Why so ….!

Why so ….!

Many members posting poems at our p4poetry are funny,
On their posted poems they do expect response & comments, many,
But don’t read poems of others nor give their comments, any
Would welcome response to this post not any but many…
Of reasons why this could be happening, if you know any,
For passion for poetry is incomplete without both & if you miss any.

Thanks very much. I think in their passion for creating poems and sharing them with others, this equally important aspect of passion gets overlooked and probably needs just a reminding to oneself, of and on, to spare some time for this activity too, which in fact intensifies creativity; that’s all.

मैं समझता हूँ मात्र प्रशंसा करने की बजाय जहाँ कमी हो तो उसे भी इंगित करना आवश्यक है अन्यथा कलम को आलोचना की कसौटी पर कसने की बजाय माखन में डुबोने जैसा हो जायेगा जिससे कलम की धर ही कुंद हो जाने की आशंका बलवती हो जायेगी.

@siddhanath singh ji,
धन्यवाद. आप जो समझ रहे हैं और बता रहे हैं वो बिलकुल उचित ही है इस बारे में मैं निर्विवाद सहमत हूँ., पर ये भी सही है कि हमारे बहुत कम मेंबर ऐसे हैं जिन्हें कविता के बारे में विशेष ज्ञान और technical knowledge है, इसीलिये अक्सर मेम्बर्स उनको कविता पढ़कर जैसे भायी और जैसा ख़याल आया वैसा ही कविता पर कमेन्ट करते हैं, इन में मै भी एक हूँ . पर जिन मेम्बरों को कविता का व्यवस्थित ज्ञान है, technical knowledge है, उन्होंने जरूर अपने कमेन्ट में अपना critical appreciation विदित करना चाहिए ताकि author उसे समझे और सुधरे एवं इस बारे में उत्साहित भी रहे . यही तो इस साईट का धेय भी है. ऐसे दोनों कमेन्ट मिलकर ही ठीक रास्ता अपनाया जा सकता है. शायद आपको मेरी ये बात भी सही लगे.

Hi Vishwa nand jee,

just wondering, why you wrote such lines? It is because people are not commenting? a thought only…

I believe, the site serves as a platform to present creativity. It is like showcasing your stuff in a marketplace. It is up to the customers to buy from you or not. Isn’t it?

In addition, I just want to know is there any harm in expecting? Everyone tries to present best of his or her creative sense. Being members of this respective platform, we all should help and encourage each other to learn and grow in this great art of poetry. So, expectation is not always about getting good comments but meaningful advices that helps in better understanding and expression.

Thanks,
Rachana

I am in all admiration of your beautiful meaningful comment which is hitting the bulls eye.
The authors with passion for poetry, who are posting their poems at site with a view to share their poems must expect to know how many have read their poems, how the readers have found their poem and commented upon it. which is a fantastic feature of this site..
In turn these authors must also be aware that other authors who post their poems expect similar response from other authors/members.
The reason for this write was because I felt many authors who posted their poems for various reasons were uncaring about the later responsibility which also is an important part of passion for poetry.
I hope I have clarified the intention and motivation behind the write and all will take it in the correct spirit it is meant and take time to comment on the poems of others as their feedback..

yes , you are right. It is an appeal to those who post their poems but shirk from reading poems of other authors and/or commenting on poems of other authors. Hope new & more members would feel goaded to comment on poems without any “holding back” inhibition.
