All on Vocal please beware
Just to put my reason to post and like what you post ok
No Strings Attached
I’ll like your words if they move me,
If line by line, they prove to be
A spark, a truth, a beating heart—
That’s what sets good work apart.
Not for trade, not for show,
Not because I’m told so.
I’ll read with honest, open eyes,
Not for games, not for replies.
I won’t play the “like-for-like.”
I’ll only comment if I truly like.
Please, do the same for me—
Let’s keep it honest and free.

PLEASE NOTE FELLOW WRITERS
This poem and note is simply because today I was made to feel under pressure by someone on here to like for like. I only like your work honestly if I like it. I even got accused of flooding this person's notifications with my poetry posted alerts. It's not my fault; turn alerts off if anyone feels that way or unfollow me. I have lots of my poetry waiting to be posted. I am a paid member; why should I not post just because, as this person stated, it clogs his alerts up? So if this offends, I am sorry, but I am sure like me you want honest opinions, not false likes and comments to earn a penny.

You said your peace and I like and comment on all that I read for I like to read and commenting makes me feel like I can use my education degree in a way.
Well-wrought! I try to reciprocate reads as much as I can, and over time, certain authors have come to resonate with me here more than others, but really, there's too much good work here for me to keep up with it all, so I just do my best. What I've most enjoyed is watching people hone their craft, because through the craft we hone our selves. The most important thing is to keep writing!
Yes, indeed, Be yourself, as you are. Everyone has options!
That is how it should be why be under pressure to tell someone what they write is not good ? Better do not like at all pass it by.
