It seems I'm labouring under a curse,
Why does nobody read my verse?
Post as I might,
Response is slight
But I get to read yours, things could be worse.

Sue my dear,
It's never clear
Why thoughts are left unsaid.
But, be of cheer,
A response is here
Concerning the words I've read.

Do your best and your popularity will grow with your skills.

Thank you, INclan, for those encouraging words. But how will my skill grow if no-one tells me what is wrong?

Sue,
When it comes to reading great poetry, that can never be bad. As far as lack of response, the response will come once people get to know your work a bit better...in the mean time, keep plugging away at it.
