I think the level of poetry promotion is inline with the interest in it.

I think the problem lies in the fact that some people on DA have ADD (myself included) and therefore don't like to read lenghty poems, short ones are good for me. Anything longer than 9 lines is too much for my short attention span.

It's not exactly "us" that has to do the work. I think da should, too. There should be more of an emphasis on writers. But I agree with ~AdlerAugende, we should read more of each others work. Thanks for the comment

Well, that's the problem nowadays, people don't like to read generally speaking, let alone old-fashioned or archaic poems.
If you wanna get more attention, just do like me: be a forum whore.

I've been on da for almost four years, and have posted over 150 deviations, 90% of which are poetry. I have just under 9,000 pageviews. Compare that to an artist I came across yesterday, who has the same stats, but over 300,000 pageviews.
I'm sure fellow poets and prose writers are wondering why we don't get the recognition we deserve. As a writer, you have to carefully construct each line, think about the words, or just vent your feelings. In any case, you're baring some of your soul; idealogy; prose is a very personal thing. I'm not saying that someone who takes a photo or does an emoticon is entitled to less comments, favourites or pageviews. Artists on this website work very hard for recognition, we all do. I'm saying that writers deserve more. If this was an exclusive art site, there wouldn't BE any poetry categories avaliable! It's really hard to get noticed on da if you're a writer. A picture you can see. A poem you have to read. I think writers should have a better go.
If you disagree with me (as in, you think the standard of poetry promotion is fine on this site) that's okay. But if you're like me, and want more, come join the fight to be better recognised.
