The wrong way to get likes is to pressure people

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.

Poetry has lived in me since childhood.

Ink spills the feelings words fear to say.
