Common Courtesy

For you, a question for those
who do not comment,
whether liking or a helpful critique
upon the Poet you posted above.
Some of course, may not have the time.

Working with limited resources
such as the local Libary,
where every second counts.
Or with an old Computer
where one counts themselves lucky
to be online at all.

But of you others, I do so wonder
is it an attitude of I'm the best,
to me, this Poet below can't hold a candle?
Or does the poem contain a word
you don't understand and the effort
is too much to check a dictionary,
to find you really might enjoy that Poet's work.
Even if this is not so, do you not think
that's the way it may appear?
How I sometimes yearn for common courtesy
of a Poet's message board.
"There go I, except for the grace of God"
