Ode to all those who leave a meaningless "Nice share" as their comment.

Nice share?

Well don’t you care

Enough to speak your mind?

Can’t you pen

A line or ten

Caustic, sharp or kind?

Such comments bland

Should just be banned

They tell me nowt at all

Except, I fear

“Hey! I was here”

“Now come and read MY scrawl”

    Really inner thoughts. really people do this, I also do some times. But really great poem you made. True words.

    By the Way: “Nice Share”

  • AskSan on Oct 21, 2010

    Which begs the question

    Did you bother

    To even have a peek

    Or did you scroll

    Down the bottom

    Just for views you seek?

    I didn’t feel compelled to friend you OR read your stuff. Huh? So THAT’S how it works ;)

  • Alistair Briggs on Oct 21, 2010

    Nice work
    Good stuff

    Hit the nail on the head. One of the reasons I don’t comment much on others is because I have nothing to add, or say to it – that and I wouldn’t want someone reading something of mine just because I read something of theirs. lol

    but, eh, yeah

    good work ;)

    This issue resonates very much with me, to such an extent in fact that I am now not reciprocating any such responses.
    Amen to those who actually want their work to be read understood and appreciated.

    I never comment if I have nothing to say, which has been quite often with triond over the past year. I’m glad you pointed this out because it drives me nuts also.

  • Judy Sheldon on Oct 24, 2010

    I receive a number of comments which are obviously cut and paste. This indicates they are in too much of a rush to even read the content. I at least skim it and I like your poem.

    Thanks for your originality and honesty.

  • hfj on Oct 25, 2010

    I agree with you 100%. \”Nice share friend\”….haha See i took it a step further by including friend on the end which should make you feel better about me so you will read and comment on ten or so of my poems…haha On a serious note, i\’d druther someone just hit the like button than to comment nice share, or very interesting. Well done.

    Well written sir,
    you’ll cause a stir
    ‘mongst those who write “nice share”

    They mightn’t know
    the words to show
    they indeed have taken care

    to read your post
    or glanced at most
    at what you cared to write.

    Your kind of prose
    to those that knows
    is a truly wondrous sight!

    I love your stuff when you’re having fun like this!

    I thought this was trend here to write nice share,kinda proxy attendance.Nice share Officer.
    By the way your application by the Italian government for the post of measurement officer has been rejected, reason- they are planning some one more seasoned, like me for that job.

    Bravo, Bruce.
    I must confess that I’ve made some similarly inane comments. I didn’t know what to say, but I wanted the person to know that I cared enough to take the time to read their writing.
    When I get a “nice share”, I wonder if the topic was that boring to the person that they couldn’t even muster up an opinion on the article…
    We’re a strange breed. We spend a lot of time trying to be “nice”, instead of saying what’s really on our mind. The result is that we often say things that have little or no value.

  • Sail338 on Nov 11, 2010

    LOl.

  • bigpapadan on Nov 29, 2010

    Bruce, I believe Triond needs to add an “I Love It” button next to the like button… very amusing and sharp assessment of those Nice Share folks, who, unfortunately seem to thrive in abundance. Thanks.

  • Thomas Hodge on Dec 22, 2010

    I love it. So very true. I am surprised someone has not commented with “Nice share.” Perhaps those who do that finally got the point to something.

  • Geny on Jan 3, 2011

    uaaaau,thanks

  • chennysan on May 15, 2011

    thanks for sharing this link to http://writinghood.com/writing/i-have-cheated-in-making-comments/
    today! don’t think I will do much of writing..your poem is really nice.I love the way you’ve used rhyming…

  • MountainGirl on Aug 22, 2011

    LMAO….. Nice

    Seriously, I am not the best writer around here, but I do want somebody to read my articles and to leave me a meaningful comment. You made my day with this one.

    BTW. I would never consider you to be a spammer. I will read your articles.

  • yes me on Oct 20, 2011

    Hi, Bruce you are right of course, I personally don’t leave a big reply, to most of the peps that do reply to my poetry, those ones who you correctly say, leave a nice share constantly then… just want to bombard you with cut, and paste on everything from dan ruff to baldness, and scurvy or whatever… I am trying to fix my list to old friends, and new poets, or old as long as it is something worth reading, so cheers for now, and hope you get the replies you seek cheers
