Very nice, all true, one can become an ardent researcher and become lover of words and art. We need art in writing. We also acquire some talents and skills as months go by.We can also gain many friends worldwide.

Your points are quite good. I am writing since many years, though I am still not professional one. But one thing is sure that I have learned so many things with my experience. With my keep trying my writing has been improved lot in compare to past. And yes here we need to keep patience for everything. So that skill will be improve for all of us. Good going.

I only write online because writing is a skill that I have and I figured it could be used to become gainfully self-employed, and I could work from home, and hopefully my efforts will generate consistent income. All the other stuff that comes with doing that, such as, meeting new people, etc. That’s just “gravy”. 🙂

Yes, writing satirical poem is very difficult far a poet but there are many poets who have written political satires in the history of English literature. As Pope wrote a political Satire as The Rape of the Lock

The Rape of the Lock is one of the most famous English-language examples of the mock-epic. Published in its first version in 1712, when Pope was only 23 years old, the poem served to forge his reputation as a poet and remains his most frequently studied work.

The inspiration for the poem was an actual incident among Pope’s acquaintances in which Robert, Lord Petre, cut off a lock of Arabella Fermor’s hair, and the young people’s families fell into strife as a result. John Caryll, another member of this same circle of prominent Roman Catholics, asked Pope to write a light poem that would put the episode into a humorous perspective and reconcile the two families.

The poem was originally published in a shorter version, which Pope later revised. In this later version he added the “machinery,” the retinue of supernaturals who influence the action as well as the moral of the tale.

Dryden the poet is best known today as a satirist, although he wrote only two great original satires, Mac Flecknoe (1682) and The Medall (1682). His most famous poem, Absalom and Achitophel (1681), while it contains several brilliant satiric portraits, unlike satire comes to a final resolution, albeit tragic for both David and his son. Dryden’s other great poems— Annus Mirabilis (1667),

Religio Laici (1682), The Hind and the Panther (1687), Anne Killigrew (1686), Alexander’s Feast (1697), and “To My Honour’d Kinsman” (1700)—are not satires either. And he contributed a wonderful body of occasional poems: panegyrics, odes, elegies, prologues, and epilogues.

Writing satire is a tough job for any writer of any age. A few satirical writers have been on earth.

Dryden was dry (:-D) until he started writing political satires. He gained more readership since.

I get where you’re coming from. I do appreciate the lyrics of the songs from my generation. In many instances, the words are timeless. I guess that’s why my kids also appreciate the songs. I notice they sometimes download the music from the Internet.

They are nice songs, endless.Singers and song writers may have died , but they remain alive in every man’s heart and mind.
I like the song by Bon Jovi, Bed of Roses , also songs from Guns and Roses, Watch Up, songs of Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Endless Love so many nice songs that remain alive and will be cherished for life.

A great narrative indeed and described well enough.

This site may be taking the Internet by storm but I am staying in calm waters and not getting on that ship. It will sail without me! 🙂 The site just doesn’t appeal to me. It’s a personal preference.

Remarkably, doing a scamadviser, I learned it is a Six Year Old site with excellent ratings.

As you post the item is published and I posted 3 items and made 6c based on 60 views.

I find literacybase undermines my creativity because when I get an idea and post and it takes two days for it to be published I start to limit my output.

I am at $8.6060 here so will probably complete my $10 and stop participating.

I’m still learning the ropes over here on LiteracyBase. Not sure if I want to try another site just quite yet. But as they say, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

A shadow is part of human being, being alive and even those non-humans have shadow. There is an explanation to this in Physics. But all I can say, is you got a nice post for through your post, I remember a song that was the favorite song of my father . The title of this song is : THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE. I remember my dearest father when I hear or see a word shadow. Yes, a shadow of our past serves as the aspiration for the future that is built the next day. Future is tomorrow and not many years from now.

A good post explained nicely. So while starting a restaurant one will have the fear of facing loss and this so-called shadow is already there. But, what needs is taking appropriate steps in the event of any loss. A well-designed action should be prepared and any business should be taken up. It should not be over-shadowed by assumptions or presumptions.

The post did not leave the writers. The interesting point for consideration is that for writers the bread and butter will be writing. If they are not paid for their Articles properly and timely what should they do? Even if you assure of their payment they feel disappointed till it is finalized. In the meanwhile, the alternative left for them will be searching and writing for other sites,which in my opinion is not with fear but with disappointment. Even if the site pays them low they work for it if the payment is regular.
No doubt, patience is needed and it can be liberally in writers especially.

But, the saddest part is that there are many sites which are opting for tenders. The educated is asked to participate in the bid as in the auction for Excise Shop or Arrack shop (prevailing in India). For how much low should a writer submit his bid for writing ? For one cent? For 2 cents? Why not a site is giving freedom to write and paying for the quality of writing like LB? There are only a few which do not have proper management network.

Fear will be there for all. It should be in limits and with proper planning one can attack its invasion. One should have respectable fear towards the society, profession,and in the regular activity.But, this alone should not become the life and one should not let it tobe as such. This can be through proper planning.

My Point view is what the Idioms tend to portray in the mind of the listener,a very wise leader. Despite many Missing on the Point.

The Phrase ‘as wise as Solomon’, does not go to waste.

Politicians Manipulate and make everybody sing their tune.

My Advice is to shun bad politicians
