I am so very flattered that one of my poems was selected as the POTD.
I am completely blown away by the one and only comment the poem has received today. It isn't commentary on my poem, or my writing, it is commentary on what this person's view of what should and shouldn't be POTD.
I drafted my PM response to this person carefully; I'm hyperparanoid about offending people here, more so than I am in real life, however I seldom make it my goal or intent to offend a person period (I have to be goaded by the person, and greatly antagonized, then I will resort to insulting a person's intellect, etc. it's a defense mechanism).
I have requested that this person's comment be removed from my poem, as it doesn't pertain to the poem or my writing, however, I seem to be messaging admin. as they are logging off... my luck,
In the meantime, I find that I feel insulted and offended by this person's comment, as if my poem doesn't deserve to be POTD simply because it has a Christian theme.
I thought that writing was about expressing yourself. So is it wrong that what I write would reflect my attitudes and beliefs? I am currently Frustrated
