	HI Anisa, welcome to the site! If you scroll to the end of the poem you can read information including: date poem was written, date poem was submitted to the site, how long it takes to read the poem and also the number of views. It can take a while for your poems to get noticed - one way of getting out there is to promote your poem.

	I believe I understand your query . Yes, the verb 'be' is indeed unique in it's lone classification. 2 years ago	View
	Wow. Intense. :( The world is complex. 2 years ago	View
	Yes, as the two titles are a 'mini' list of qualifications, a comma is the correct way to go. We're adding an article specifically addressing commas following titles, shortly. 2 years ago	View
	By way of an answer, the author wishes to convey that the sentence, 'My friend John, who is a better painter than me, can do the walls for your home.' with the clause, 'who is a better painter than me,' can be grammatically accurate both with and without the commas. Having said this, using commas before and after the clause, 'who is a better painter than me,' makes the sentence read, and sound, better. Let's call the, 'highly recommended', rather than essential. :) Hope this helps! Have a great day ahead! more » 2 years ago	View
	Thanks for your well-phrased and thoughtful question! I believe the words 'essential/non essential' are the cause for confusion and we'll edit the article accordingly. 2 years ago	View
	Poignant words. 2 years ago	View
