[hometext] => If a poet knows the answer....
[bodytext] => Listen my lads and listen my lassies
None of us want to be known for our nasties,
we're given a job without a description,
How can we comment without a depiction?
Here's what I mean, I'll tell in a sample
You'll see what I mean and here's an example,
I think you're a stinker, your poems they stink, too
Now, how can I comment on a fella like you?
We have some real sweeties, a few just for hell,
There's Shari, Nessa, Joni(n), Michelle.
These girls are so nice, they'll never complain,
They'd rather just skip it than hand out distain.
If I had a poem that showed t'was ten reads
But had only one comment from all of those deeds,
Sure as I'm sittin', I'll tell you no bunk,
I'd sure think that nine of you folks thought it stunk.
Does anyone see how our work be critiqued
With honest appraisal and nobody piqued,
If you do, lads and lassies, you're smarter than me,
I'll watch all the comments and maybe I'll see.

| Like it or not, is not for me to decide for it is within you to be happy with what apears in word. Well written, yes that is true, I actually like it and so should you. |

My friend I am not always nice
It is just that you add the spice
to my day with your prose
I can't find anything wrong I suppose

Right on, terrific and to the point.
What's worthwhile is honest feedback
rather than superficial, clumsy critique
and a sense of humour to wash it down.
Since we are at it have a look at a guests critique
of my recently posted poem " Child's play "
I must've pushed some buttons there which shaws
such reaction can be considered a hit. ( smile ) |

Dearest Norm,so true to form,
Your words they dance on my screen.
My name I do see,
A sweetie I be?
My comments will never be mean.
You make my day,in a peculiar way,
Those meanies lack for fun!
You make me laugh,never to cry,
So I just say "screw everyone"!!!
~~~changes line~~~
So I just say " I LOVE YOU,HON"!!!! lol
angel almost always...godspeed...joni |

hello norm here's your favourite sweetie
trying to think of something meaty
you know I've been guilty of nasty remarks
I even apologised for some of my "barks"
But if I can't say what I really think
I don't make a comment (how low can one sink)
I like to believe I say something bolder
but "beauty is in the eye of the beholder
