Plea For Pause!

HeatherAnne • 1248 followers

warning, I'm a bit annoyed on this front. Sorry!

'follow me' - you're needy,
'like my stuff' - I might,
'read this' - on my own work,
'look here' - I'm trying to write.

Understand I'll like it,
If it's my sort of thing,
Don't bug me till I do,
For likes that you may wring.

Commenting on my posts,
About your stuff, ignoring mine,
I know it sounds quite pissy,
But I do draw a fine line.

If I want new stuff to read,
I'll write a little post,
Explaining my predicament,
Then suggestions, I'll get a host.

But for now I'm quite content,
To read what I see fit:
So please stop forcing yours on me,
Please stop pushing it.

Opuss Newby

There are questions to ask, about this Opuss app, Like: 'how do I know if my poems are crap?' How do I find out who is ranked high.

Thank You (again)

I love you all. 5 times too much. You make me smile. Even though I just woke up. Thanks to my "Followers Force". For increasing itself while I slept. I love y'all for your support.

I  Opuss

There's a sweet little symbol. At Opuss's core. It's on every post. And it always gives more. It's small and it's pewter. But it can be made yellow. So brilliantly simple. Yet warming and mellow.

Not About Rank

It doesn't matter. What ranking I am. What matters the most. I've done the best that I can. I like writing my jibber. Creating new stuff. If you don't like them. I guess it is tough.

Opuss Is Not Twitter™

Opuss is not Twitter™. So do not treat it as such. With your one liner updates. On life, how long, how much. If you want to tell us how you feel. Then write a little rhyme.

Opuss

Opuss is the bestest. Opuss is my friend. Opuss is the website. That I hope never ends. Friendlier than Twitter. More creative than Facebook. Much simpler than DeviantArt.
