Replying to a comment on:

Sonata for Robin and Poet (Free verse) by Dovina

Beneath some clouds on a blue-sky day A poet stood prepared And on a limb of an apple tree A robin pensively turned The poet stood erect and booked A candle in his hand The robin perched alert and plum A worm held in his beak ‘Tis thus,’ pronounced the poet ‘I have seen and it is true’ The robin turned a fury head And salivated if birds do The poet read and read From chapbook, scrapbook, cookbook too The robin listened, eating worm Then retorted a little chirp With reading finished Worm devoured Poet said to robin Man shall not live by worm alone The robin fluffed and sang a tune Lifted lightly overhead And placed upon the poet’s chapbook And answer in red and brown.

There is one problem with your argument here, being that once a poem is off the recent list, it tends not to be red, and just seems to sit there as a bad egg taking up space. It is not an issue of sensitivity, and if it were, there would be nothing to be sensitive about apart from the lack of comments. I only receive votes on new poems, perhaps because I have massively less work on this site, mine do not appear on random so often. Never the less. The reason I deleted the piece in question was that it had a lot of hits with the only comments being about whether you should vote or not, one vote from you, and another from someone to negate your 5, leaving the piece unconsidered and thus it was better to replace it with something that might be considered, allowing me to figure out what is and isn't accessible for people.
