I see a through line in your critics. Their comments could be a collection called "Do Yourself a Favor".
Meanwhile, I jump on your emails, daily. If yours was the first poem about trigger fingers, you know you need to keep going. You didn't need evidence, but your vision IS unique and cherished.
What a hoot! No disrespect to Michael, but I read your poems every day with joy, as do so many others (some of them below!). They're poems because you say they are. You're a gem, Esther Cohen, and as a fellow daily poet (though not for nearly as long as you), I salute you with much gratitude!
Critics! Have to wonder if Michael M. thinks he's doing the world a favor with his cutting words; I tend to think he does. He needs to do himself a favor and produce some genuinely original work. Oh, wait: that might require some insight...
We DO read them every day. Unsure about the pay issue - hope you can live okay without my contribution - I'm rather sure you can. Is it okay to hate hateful posts?

LOVE your grace and sense of humor for posting the truly creepy-goofy-clueless smug-butt comments you hear!
I read them EVERY day... and he’s right about one thing- “no need to reply”
He’s full of baloney. Post on.

I get you. xoxoxox
This was simply unnecessary. And rude. I read your posts every day. And no one HAS to opt into a paid subscription.
I look forward to and read all your posts. Michael M has no way of knowing what I do or don't read.
I hope Thanksgiving cheers him up.
He doesn’t get you.
nope
I personally enjoy your poems and read them as time becomes available. Wishing you a happy holiday 😄🦃
and to you
