I would love to follow your work! I do not have one, so if you could give me the website I would definitely check that out.

Hello,

I noticed your review on my most recent piece and that you seemed a bit agitated by the notion of read requests. At first I had slightly the same attitude. But what I have learned to do is accept tons of read requests and then go through them, its much easier than searching for poems to read, especially if you have a ton of friends, like me. I read the poems sent to me by my favorite writers first, and then my second favorite and so on. There is poetry on this site that I do enjoy and there is some that I don't. Some writers review every piece and give an honest opinion and some don't. I pick and choose, if I have nothing to say..than I don't say it. I don't usually write critical reviews and I'm also not very good at reviewing in general so some people may not review my work in return.
Basically, I don't worry about it, I review as I please and I send out reviews, I expect if you don't like my work you'll point it out or skip over it. I have had comments on my work that I don't like, and sometimes I will counter their comments, other times not.

I really felt as if there wasn't much to say to your review, you stated that you didn't like RR's and I put it in mind not to send you anymore. But you have apologized and said for me to continue, so I will, no hard feelings.
Don't let rude comments from a few people get the best of you, that will happen not only on here, but in life and in the writing world in general. It is up to you how to deal with it, but I think the best route is to state your opinion and agree to disagree when needed.

Thank you for the review, I think that you enjoyed my piece, and I'm glad if you did. I look forward to reading some of your own writing and returning the favor, I'm pretty sure I read one of your poems the other night and liked it.
:)

I can't see why you're a pessimist because your encouraging. Thank you for your comment. I'm not a pessimist nor a optimist. I'm what I'd call a peptomist. Newly coined word, eh? I'm usually the middle between most philosophies. Like I'm neither conservative nor liberal.
