it all come down to why you write poetry. I write because it shows me how much I have evolved as a writer. It helps me hear my own voice. I read poetry, and can distinguish voice. Style cannnot camaflouge voice. On this site, I read poetry, but rarely comment or thumbs up. If I like your poetry, it's because of your voice, not your words. Some poets on here, need to work on developing their true voice, and letting it out. I read their poetry, but feel nothing, as if the words actually choke them. What are you trying to say? Don't let the words get in the way. That's the best poetry I ever read, is when the poet don't let the words get in the way. Another point I like to make, is first impressions. It's the voice that makes that lasting impression. I read the poetry on here, and I never care for the poet if I at first don't feel his or her voice. Throw away rules, words, lines, punctuation, even wit and cleverness. Don't try to impress me, I don't care for that. Let me hear your voice, clearly. If I can't hear your voice in one of your poems, any poem I pick at random, then why would I want to read anything else you write or will write in the future. It will all be the same. Let your voice come out, strip away expectations, formalities, approval seeking, or how it should be. Nothing is how it should be. Why should it be? Honor your unique voice.
Like SugarSkull and LoBode...' it depends'...
I like receiving comments...I can usually pick said 'creepy' ones and it tends to happen with my erotic poetry but what i find a tad uncomfortable are those 'newbies' who've literally just joined and RL my work without commenting...for a period of time after the event i'll check out their writing but they never upload any of their poems...

It is Creepy: someone not only read but liked my poem and had it impact on them enough to raise a response. I mean c'mon what are the chances!
Though seriously, it is enormously flattering that they took the time and attention and effort, even if it is just a brief few words of liking it. If a creep is going to go through my poems and comment on a whole load of them, methinks they are the ones getting trolled.

I can get creepy with a lot of [my] flattering but I'm genuine in what I say or what I comment on.
I think it's Flattering when someone takes the time to backtrack on a poet/poetress's work; not everyone gets the opportunity to experience that.

Thanks all for your comments, I've had a few laughs reading through 
And it's good, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being creepy when I read and comment on a big handful of someone's pieces in one sitting.
I personally find it flattering, so if you feel so inclined, you're welcome to stalk the hell out of my poems ;)

it is definitely flattering to me. My fellow poets' feedback is necessary to helping me build an audience. When someone takes the time to read my work and therefore comment on it, for good or bad, is a great compliment to me and I hope others feel the same.
I always find it flattering, just the thought someone enjoyed, even a little small bit something I wrote is a good feeling, it is why we share our work isn't it? So I am always flattered, when someone keeps coming back its a good feeling.
When I read poetry it is because I make the fantasy and want to mate
with the female person.
I follow tasteful commints, only two to eight, short sweet.
This I do to lubricate the social conversation
to ready to take it next level.
It Is not work, to say in beginning, " I want make baby"
I try this, It never work.
Here are steps that work:
1: comment five poems, say: Very nice, I like when you write
"Leaping dog save baby in fire, leaping dog you are desire"
(Maybe your quote is different)
2: PM her, tell how you wait for next pome.
3: WAIT. this is ver very important.
If she take one month to write back,
you got to wait.
4: POUNCE. IF she write back THEN you say
" I cannot live without your words"
5: After this, everything happen naturally.
She fly in to live with you, or visa versa
depend who have the better apartment.
6: If you are a girl who is stalking guy, these advices do not work.
Sorry I cannot help you,
because the girls keep their methods a well guarded secret,
not to be revealed to any man.
