The Link-bomber
The absurdity in limerick form
There once was a writer so great,
That boundless praise they'd await.
He dropped others a link,
But never stopped to think,
That perhaps they should reciprocate.
Link-bombing on Vocal posts is becoming a problem.
Not only is it annoying, it's counterproductive. Most creators, if they see a link without so much as a word or two expressing appreciation of their own work, will scroll right past the link, or hide it and block the poster, or even report to the group admins. Do yourself a favour, and read the original work, rather than hijacking the post for self-promotion.
The law of equivilent exchange applies to reads and likes, too.

Know Your Enemy
Trigger: Domestic Violence ******* Iris smiled approvingly into the mirror as she applied the final touches of her makeup. The violet-blue eyeshadow would match perfectly with her sister’s sapphire earrings - the “something borrowed, something blue,” segment of her ensemble.

Very accurate! Well done :)
A fun limerick that gets right to the point! Love it!
Awesome. It's fun and it's pointed.
How true.
Thank you. Thank you. It is so annoying, especially if they do not give any indication for having even read your work. Well done!
I learn to not let thing bother me. All I kind do is control my reaction. Nice poem. I like this type of poem cause they suppose to be humorous.
Exactly , well said
Yes! :)
