I'm one of those guys. It probably has to do, with how I view poetry. For me, poetry has been a way to deal with my feelings and I think, I'm not the only one. That clearly influenced the way I look at poetry by someone else. And as virtually nobody tells if their poems are autobiographical or not, I tend to assume they are. If I'm wrong, I apologize here and now, but I don't think I'll change in that.
Maybe you should just see it as a compliment. Autobiographical or not, you tried to convey a feeling with the poem, and judging by the empathy in the comments, you clearly succeeded.

I wouldn't put it out there If I wasn't happy with it tbh..I'm good with it but hope to get better at it, I am still a novice really.
My current one I am working on about Paulus, German sausages, measles and the zombie br'er rabbit hell bent on revenge after contracting German measles and choking on a German sausage. is imo the makings of a master piece..If I don't get an RR for it I shall eat my hat

Quote by snoopAs a matter of fact, I was just thinking about her, as I came to this thread. I hope she and her loved ones are and will be safe. I'm not religious, but I'll light that candle for them anyway.
I LIGHT many candles for the fine people of KENYA. Our dear friend AriesDragon (who just recently closed her account here) had this message to me on Facebook this evening.
"Light a candle for my country, in the forums tonight Rick...
we are safe, for the time being, there are many more threats and we never know where the next one will be. we have a long journey inland tomorrow, back up to the farm. I home there will not be fresh attacks in the morning"
Please keep her and her family ... and ALL peace loving folk ... in your deepest good thoughts and prayers.
Rick

Quote by SherzahdIn other words, poetry still has no place on the homepage. The ability to change the default is nice, but it's only useful for regular visitors. Guests still won't see the poetry. Apart from the unfairness to the poets here, have you considered what it does to the appeal of SS to poets, who might consider joining? Their first visit gives them a homepage saying: by default, your work won't be shown here.Quote by magnificent1rascalQuote by Sherzahd
A third tab has now been added.
That's great! Thanks for the quick change.
However — and I apologize for being nitpicky about it — the All tab really ought to be the default. Otherwise, as Paul has pointed out,
poems won't appear on the landing page that everyone sees, including guests who aren't necessarily aware that the different tabs exist.
There's an option to change your default tab in your settings.
