Rating Poems

Now for all you raters here,you should read the criteria for rating on this site.
I would gander a guess that most here have not.
I rate all your poems that i read
according to the criteria posted on this site.
How many of you have given a poem a 5?
You all have rated some of my CONTEST WINNING poems on other sites, 3 and 2 stars,
while some of my less than great poems you have given 4 stars.

Try joining "AllPoetry.com"
where you get written critiques and you can enter many contests,
and actually converse and share with other poets.
They range from amature to established poets.

I have over 150 poems posted here,
like i'v said, with many that have won contests.
You can't tell me that not one of 150 poems so far
weren't worth a 5!

I know it's tough here,
because to maintain a 5,
multiple people have to give you a 5.
One 5 and one 4, gives you a 4.
Starting poems with a 5
that get knocked down to a 3 right away,
means someone gave it a rating of 1.

I would love to see
what our poems would really get
if the poet can't vote on his/her own poem.

BTW if you like knocking down poems,
go to the highest rated poems section here on Poetry Nation.
There are 17 pages of 5's from poets from 2017 and 2018
that have only 1-4 poems that they have posted on this site.
And most of them stink.
And those of us that have joined this year,
don't have a chance to be in that section.

Please don't rate this message.
Or give it a 5 so it can stay on top so others can read it.
