Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

A very well-written poem about the difference of opinions that make people rate a poem badly when it comes too close to their inability to realize we are all different unique creatures.

I rated this a Six cos i can relate
I have barely written Six poems and I can feel the hate
some reviewers don't understand what it really takes
to click the post button and await the quakes....

That's a quick poem straight from my heart....just for you.
Please keep writing irrespective! Well done!

    I'm Nigerian. You are welcome.

    Thanks. This is a very international site. Do you live in Nigeria... or elsewhere? I am an Aussie living in New Zealand.

    I actually live in Lagos, in Nigeria. Ever been to Nigeria?
reply by the author on 06-Sep-2019
    I haven't, but I am sure I would find it fascinating. The closest physical distance I have been to Nigeria is southern Algeria - Tamanrasset. I travelled extensively when I was younger: in 1977 I was in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt (Libya was thought to be too unsafe).
    I guess you have probably not been to NZ either?

    Nope... I haven't. I have neither visited the referenced African countries... This is indeed an international site and i am pleased to be here with each passing day

Well done, good writing my dear friend, I certainly won't award you a 1 or two star, I don't think there's a poem that bad, although in a sea of exceptionals I've been awarded by some "fly by nighter" ones, and twos, I just loved your compelling and amusing work, well done, blessings, Roy

    Thanks for your review and lovely comments, Roy. Those fly-by-nighters are a law unto themselves - they strike like guerrillas to wound and damage.

There you are! A six from me. Because it's very clever, great rhythm and rhyme, and so, so true. And the spelling is all correct. lol

It's not all that different in the prose world sometimes, although I don't think I've ever got a '1'. Heaven forbid, I'd crawl away and not surface for days.

    What a nice reviewer you are, Judy... so generous with your support.
    I think if you got a 1 it would mean that the reviewer's finger had slipped while scrolling towards a 6.

    Aw, shucks. :)
