yours was mean and childish.
Big chip on your shoulder.
big bloody whoop
who cares who I love???
don't like it? don't read it.
I never asked for YOUR opinion.
not responsible for how YOU feel about what I write
Do you SERIOUSLY believe that that poem is about YOU??? My God, your conceit is boundless!
If I have anything to say about your work - or anybody else's for that matter - I make my comments on the work or in a private message. I DO NOT take to the public forums to air my grievances, unlike some...
MY poem was a gentle dig at the plethora of love poems that have appeared on the site recently, which even I have been guilty of adding to you may recall. How dare you have the nerve to ASSUME that I was having a personal dig at you just because my post followed yours?
If you re-read the poem you will see it is a generalised poke at all the poems, NOT at you, not at anybody in particular, unlike your responses to me. You've over-reacted, not for the first time.
Like the rest of you I HAVE AN OPINION, which I am free to express. Just because it does not chime with yours does NOT give you the right to slag me off as you see fit. By doing so you render your own comments pointless. There is a difference between disagreeing with what I say and making your comments personal. There are one or two who need to learn the difference.

Just because you are not loved
Or you love deeply, you needn't tell me
What to write or whom to share with. Don't tell me
To shut up about it.
I am free to tell the world who I love
Or why.
Don't like it? Don't read it.
That's very petty.
I hate when there is jealousy.
Or whatever the heck you're feeling.
Bitter does NOT look good on you!!
Everyone supported you when you
Talk about your childhood and your mother,
So don't be hypocritical.
Maybe you should take your own advice, Margot.
This response is nasty, personal and incredibly childish.
I hope you are proud of yourself.

Margot my dear,
Your poems are sincere,
You inspire so many,
By showing love, without fear,
An example for all,
On that, let's be clear.
To speak of one's love,
To lay one's soul bare,
Takes courage and heart,
With fortitude, you dare.
Never cynical you be,
despite adversity,
Keep on as you are,
Love and support are quite near.
Thank you, gypsy.
That's really lovely what you wrote. Thanks for your support.
I'm not changing for anyone.
I dare and dream, no matter the outcome or cost.
<3

Every word should be necessary. Ask yourself why it is there. If you can remove it and it changes nothing, than remove it. It was a waste of energy to write and a waste of energy to be read.
This sort of unctuous pronouncement really galls me!
Every writer - be they a bestselling author or rank amateur - has a writing style or 'voice'. It's what defines them as a wordsmith. As someone who enjoys words and enjoys using them in my writing to read the sort of self-serving b.s. like the quote above reads as though my style of writing is somehow inferior because it does not conform to someone else's definition of what is 'right' or 'wrong' in writing. I'm sorry, but that sort of attitude is extraordinarily patronising!
If I was to edit my own work and cut out all the (so-called) extraneous words I have used not only would my works be considerably shorter, obviously, but they would also lose that special ingredient that made it MY work. I would, in effect, be losing my writing voice for the sake of a fashion statement by someone whose opinion doesn't really matter one way or another!
One of the big issues around being a writer is the deluge of (allegedly) helpful information out there for beginners. In my opinion most of it can be ditched along with the empty snack packet and chocolate bar wrapper, for that's about as much use it is. My personal advice would be to take and utilse the advice that best serves your needs. You cannot be all things to all people in life so not everybody is going to love what you write. You will, though, establish your own fan-base in time and it is to those readers and fans that your work should be addressed, not the smug, the pompous and the oh-so ful of themselves authors who seem to believe that they are God's gift to literature!
If you can't beat them... 
Another Poem of Love
My breath catches in my throat
And my heart misses a beat
It happens every single time
That we two lovers meet
Your beauty defies description
Yet you seem so unaware
Of the effect you have on people:
How many simply stop and stare
It makes me proud to know that I
Am the lover you come home to
And I revel in the sheer joy of
Being so much in love with you
There is not a moment goes by
That you are not on my mind
You are so special, so wonderful;
So adorable, so loving, so kind.
Every minute we are together
My love for you just grows
You are perfection in every way
From your head down to your toes
I cannot believe how lucky I am
To have found such happiness
After so many years of being alone
And so much misery and loneliness
I have given you my all; my everything
I have trusted you with my heart
I know that we are meant to be
And that nothing will drive us apart
Together we are unbeatable
We are two come together as one
Our journey through the rest of our lives
Has only just begun
Thank you for sharing yourself with me
You mean so much to me I have to say
That I will cherish and honour you, always
And tell you “I Love You” every single day.
