The Secret
New Years Poem contest entry13 total reviews
Comment from Susan Newell
I've noticed some similar oddities about the site. But don't forget flowers and waterfalls. We must come to play and not take it all too seriously. When one does take it too seriously, it can engender some very unbecoming tactics, like seeking a special edge. The best way to pile up heaps of FS dollars is slow and tedious reviewing, where at least you know what your earnings will be and you don't have to "compete" for them in a tilted arena. (I'm getting 42 [!!!] member cents for this!) Another dozen and I can enter a contest. Two dozen more and I can promote my work. Six dozen more and I can buy a few pumps. Phew. I'm exhausted.
I believe there should be an apostrophe in "year's" (possessive)

Oh yes, the list could go on for miles. It's just that over years, all that same old stuff has just seemed to lose its luster to me. Lol. I'm glad could contribute a wee bit in your quest for promoting in a contest. Just keep at it and hopefully you'll get there without too much agony. Haha. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and catching the goof, Susan. I fixed it. I hope you have yourself a wonderful upcoming new year.
:)

You are welcome, Ron. I think the site contests are judged by dart board or or a random number generator. The voting booths are both fickle and predictable. Keep on writing! We do it for ourselves.

Yes, dart board winners are for sure seeing as what they pick as winners. Plus, yes, the booths are clearly predictable. That's why I write my stupid stuff, to break the monotony and hopefully some with brains see past the usual crap that wins on here. Lol. Thank you again, Susan.

Lots of my stuff just flies over heads. But I never write about the fragrance of flowers or the profundity of my lover's desire!

hahahaaa. Good.

I like your poem's sweet, yet sarcastic tone. The rhyme is nice and the photo is fitting!
Good luck in the contest.
Nice honesty in the author's notes

You forgot tragic death of loved ones. That always gets it done. LOL. This was a fun poem with great "advice." Thanks for sharing this here, and best wishes to you.
