Poems Only - Group: Support http://www.poemsonly.com/community?group=3 Simple:Press Forum Version 4.0.2 Jules on A Few Site Suggestions - Let's get this community HOPPING!!! http://www.poemsonly.com/community/questions-feedback-and-suggestions/a-few-site-suggestions-lets-get-this-community-hopping/#p125 Questions, Feedback, and Suggestions http://www.poemsonly.com/community/questions-feedback-and-suggestions/a-few-site-suggestions-lets-get-this-community-hopping/#p125 The view count goes up when I check in on my own threads. This gives a false count which implies that I have had several views other than myself. My own thread should probably only go up when other visitors view a thread and when the thread starter adds comments to their own thread, but ignore the count when one check in their own thread.


I hope my site suggestions are not getting annoying; I'm just trying to offer upgrade recommendations which will enhance the PoetryOnly.com experience, which no one seems to be doing—that I can see.

It would be nice to be able to link to my terms of use and personal comments as well as to my master list of all 13 plus poems. Blogs give members a larger, more personalized voice I feel. Thank You.

It's way faster and easier than having to try to read a bunch of screwily drawn letters and numbers and then entering them into a box, hoping I saw it correctly. With this I just add (10+3) and "Save New Topic". I think this is a brilliant idea, who came up with this?

2) There is no way to go back into a post and make changes.

3) There is no chat. Badger&Blade.com has a real smooth looking chat, check that out - we need something like that here so we can have some realtime community discussions for us eccentric, artsy-fartsey, poet type peoples.

4) We need to be able to easily click on a user name or avatar to view their stats. from anywhere on the site, from forums and from their poem entries so that if someone peaks my interest I can find their writings, poems, forum and blog entries without doing a separate, tedious search. Their own user profile does not link me to their poems.

5) I have yet to see a mod. here. I'm sure there must be mods. here—keeping the peace and offering support.

6) I'm not sure all site functions support Mac which is gaining popularity with more Mac users then ever before and counting. For instance, I don't see the smilies on my screen, just a bunch of question marks. Is this a Mac only issue?

7) I'm looking an my own profile page from the http://www.poemsonly.com/wp-admin/profile page and I can not find my own forum entries or blog or any statistics from there. There needs to be a quick link button to my "community profile" from my "admin. profile" so I can quickly get to my stats from there.

8) There should be a button next to the submit button (Save New Topic button) labeled something to the effect: "Pre-view Entry", so one can see how it will look before posting.


So far I see a lot of potential in PoemsOnly.com. I like the fact that MY poems will not be lost in centuries of poetic works from the greats like Shakespeare and writings that automatically get top billing only because they are from published writers and cary political weight—shoving mine and the rest of the lil guys into obscurity. I think I may hang around.


I looked at the join dates of a slew of members  here and I see that all the members I looked at have join dates in 2009 leading me to the belief that this site is pretty new. That said, I am patient that these issues will be worked with in time, hopefully soon. I hope this site feedback is helpful. —Jules

but i also don't get how it works with the stages and is there a way to write a comment to the new poems and not just one to the ones on the normal site? i seem to only be able to rate .. 

otherwise i think this is a great sight .. and i love so many of the poems !!!

you always understand

i rip my heart out and place it in your hands

your hands are cold

my heart grows colder

you take in my heart and press it to your shirt.

it was torn apart.

tell me why it doesn't hurt.

blood soaks your shirt

but you still keep it near

you've changed my heart.

why don't you give it here?


the beating of my life

you seem to understand

i tore my heart out and placed it your hands

your hands are worn

my heart gets swollen

my heart is broken

you mend the pieces

make it better,

unfold the creases

you squeeze my heart, it slowly dies.

it came apart from deep inside

the beating of my life

slowly starts to change

i take back my heart and put it in a cage.

love and time passes by in many days

my heart is scorn in many ways

take the key and unlock the cage

hold it near and keep it safe

as the hours stall, i want to scream and shout.

my love for you is all that matters.

you dropped my heart.it falls and shatters.

my hope it failed .my dreams they lied.

the shallowness.the deep inside.

i woke one day, to nightmares true.

your love, i fear has left me too.

my first approach,my heart bleeds out.

was it a hoax?

i want to scream and shout.

my love for you is all that matters.

you dropped my heart.it falls and shatters.

i'm stuck in this paralysis.

help me with this emptiness.

the love i knew has passed me by.

this hate i found is by my side.

when we touch my heart bleeds out.

it's not enough.

i want to scream and shout.

my love for you is all that matters,

you dropped my heart. it falls and shatters.

i've lost my love. can it be found?

if you are there, please make a sound.

my time has come, my heart dies out.

it's time i die

i want to scream and shout.

my love for you never mattered.

my time has come my soul is~shattered~
