Soooo I've just published poetry to hubpages for the first time. I'd love some feedback! Let me know what you think:
http://sasanqua.hubpages.com/hub/The-Grassy-Knoll
Thanks heaps
If I shall be honest- Let me think:OK, fine poem, but will you consider remaking this like "Radiated to every cell in my body"?
Make it like 'overflowed my spirit'. That fits with the rest of the poem.
Best of luck.
Sweet poem.
Hi - I won't critique your poem, but this forum is for critique of a hub "as a hub". Single poems presented as hubs hardly ever attract views except possibly from your followers on hubpages in the first week or so after publishing. After that, the views tend to drop to one or two a week, max. That's because there's nothing for a search engine to latch onto. The engine sees a poem as a very short piece of prose (i.e. it doesn't care that it's a poem). Single poem pages can attract viewers, but only if the poet is already famous.
A collection of a few poems with a paragraph or two of introduction has more chance of getting noticed. Maybe try that?
Ok great thank you, that was just the response I was looking for! Will work on another hub.

I have had a few poems receive non-featured status. I've been able to revive them by adding a couple of text paragraphs to expound on the topic of the poem while maintaining the integrity of the poem. It lengthens the hub, extending its survival, and therefore, making it more searchable. I've also...

Hello everyone. This week's HubMob is very special as it is going to be the last HubMob run by your usual HubMob team. For a variety of personal reasons your HubMob team is in need of taking a break. But before we run our last HubMob we want to let you know that it was a pleasure...

I usually write poems much shorter than 500 words. I am unclear on the upcoming contest word requirement. I see that an explanation must accompany the poem (which I also do not completely understand - can't the reader be free to interpret it?). If my explanation and poem do...

I'm new to this site, the main reason im here is to post my poetry, so my question is am i suppose to put only one poem per hub page or do i put all poems on one hub page, and different subjects on another hub page?? i'm so confused.... -_-

I'm fairy new to Hub Pages, but one of the things I really enjoy is reading through the Hub Hopper - you never know what topic is going to pop out at you OR how good or bad the next article will be, ha! But some of the really good ones could be even better with some good writer-to-writer feedback....
