You're a smart cookie Sextus, and I like you. But you do have a mischievous side.
I'm genuinely salivating at the prospect of submitting the next poem. However,
I did agree, on the election result, to one submission every seven days, or thereabouts.
Yet, there was a caveat which covered the possibility of a growth in interest and demand.
Mr Crash & Burn gave a wonderful review, and this has effectively doubled my vote.
I find myself in something of a quandary - should I take a punt and submit another poem within
the seven days parameter? Or should I seek advice from those with "evenness of the two hands both"
like Wilisno? He/she has grown on me a little bit in recent times, much more reasonable I feel.
Oh dear me....decisions, decisions. What am I to do Sextus?

I'm still deliberating over the exciting news of the increasing level of interest in my fine poetry.
I'll certainly keep you posted with my thoughts, but your advice is always welcome mon ami.
Pending all advice and considerations, I will maintain my commitment to submit a poem once per week.
So the next one is schediuled for fri/sat this week. But that could change, because I do want to keep my readers happy.

I think I'll wait until late Friday or Saturday to submit my next poem, thereby
honouring my commitment to one per week, following the vote. Yes, I have
had additional support since the vote, so demand is increasing, but I don't want
to put undue pressure on myself to deliver such top quality material in quick succession.
I don't want to burn out, I've only got a catalogue of 200 or so. haha

Well my interest is more of a steady state than an increasing one, and you may be putting an optimistic spin on things. What broad themes do you think your poetic motivations encompass?

Did you see the kind review/comment from Mr Crash & Burn? He said it was a very good poem.
I think if people look at the poetry with an open mind, they will see something they enjoy or appreciate.
So yes I'm optimistic, but it's gonna be a relatively slow progression, being sensibly realistic too.

Anyway, like other enthusiasts of the fine art of poetry, I try to cover a wide spectrum of life,
but generally I'm writing about people/women, the spirit/soul, natural flora/fauna, and natural landscape.
I like to think I'm a nice blend of Wordsworth, Tennyson, Kipling, Keats & Blake and a couple of others.

I try to write one poem per day, so I've got plenty to choose from. I'm already looking forward to the next
submission on saturday; something quite different from the last one I think, variety is the spice of life.
Good onya Sextus.

The next poetic submission of creative genius is now scheduled for Saturday. In the interests of variety, it will be "lighter" than the previous one.
I have several love oriented/semi-erotic pieces, one of which will be chosen for your reading pleasure and considered review.
I look forward to your comments on Saturday or soon after.

I'm very much looking forward to the scheduled issue of my next piece of creative poetic literature, some minor fine tuning is underway prior to Saturday's issue.

See you later gentlefolk......

Creativity, in all its merry forms, is the quintessential essence of the human condition. Promoting such is a noble endeavour.
I wish I could thank you for your ill-considered response. But whatever I say to you is bound to fall on the deafest of ears.
Saturday's upcoming poem is a love-oriented/semi-erotic literary piece, you ought to be salivating by now with your fancy already tickled.

Thanks Tomasavic for the intel!
To SG:
How pathetic that you are PMing members to say something about your "poetry".
You really are a sad case, your worst fear of being ignored seems to be coming true, perhaps it is time to ...

BTW I have updated the banned page to list this under the "poetry" section: here

He should just pm his few known comrades for a safe reply ! ;) ;) ;)

Promotion of the creative arts is a very noble endeavour, most especially when promoted among the heathen.

Aah, memories, memories... I was often having very good chuckles about that at the time. Colourful? Well - Tri-colourful at least! :shout:

I love that we are all custodians and protectors, in our own way, of the standard of art in the community. We care enough about it to sometimes account it the worst sin - against sensibilities at least. :shout:

So Tomasivic won't pander to you and you call him a heathen now, I'm sure you would have had something nice to say about him if he commented on your poem.
You are so transparent and despicable!

I really miss that guillotine post of yours, shame it was deleted when all of his posts were deleted for very bad behaviour!

The majority of punters have already espoused their atheism on numerous occasions and on many threads - so they are heathens.
I would have thought being called a heathen is some kind of compliment to them. C'est la vie on the forum.

I know you have been banned again but I know you are still reading as a guest so for completeness one last translation of SG trollspeak: "Most aus99 members are heathens, and I am superior to them!"

Oh and I suppose we won't be hearing any more poetry from SG, what a shame and I was just starting to get into it ... :)

Just for old times sake, in the spirit of bad poetry:
Their once was a troll massage shop owner,
who insulted the very people that could be his clientele!
With the slightest hint of poetry support he would get a boner,
and the consensus is he should go to ...

With that kind of heritage, a Pulitzer couldn't have been far off. Couldn't admin have waited at least until after Saturday's poem? He was showing some restraint and keeping to his word about the poetry posting frequency. Admin is the harshest poetry critic of all! :sweat:
