In my opinion, should you refrain ...Dragonblogger,<br /><br />In my opinion, should you refrain from writing the meaning of the poem?<br /><br />I've got two reasons for you to write a sort of 'cover paragraph' for your poems.<br /><br />First, a practical reason: SEO is important, and search engines are notoriously lacking in appreciation of poetry. For the sake of the AIs that tie us together in cyberspace, keep those opening paragraph(s) coming.<br /><br />Second, an 'artistic' reason: It's easy enough for someone with my tastes to note and skip an opening section, and read the poem first. Later, I like to go back and see what the poem looks like from the other side - that of the creator. So, for the sake of greater appreciation of the poetry, keep those opening paragraph(s) coming.<br /><br />Thanks for this opportunity to opine - again.Brian H.

I normally don't like writing the meaning of the poems, but I don't like poems without a paragraph before them for SEO reasons.Dragonbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041551830258297652noreply@blogger.com
