Be sure of the fact
And don’t be too harsh
Use a little tact
We as poets
Write to satisfy our need
So be tender with us
And eventually we will succeed
I write of life
And from the heart
And I will do until I depart
We all know that
To be a good poet is in vain
However encourage us
To ease the pain

When you critique a poem
Be sure of the fact
And don’t be too harsh
Use a little tact
We as poets
Write to satisfy our need
So be tender with us
And eventually we will succeed
I write of life
And from the heart
And I will do until I depart
We all know that
To be a good poet is in vain
However encourage us
To ease the pain

I believe that everyone here craves (however secretly) recognition for their expression. This is the 'need' you talk of. Its often the topic of forum debate, this parody of truthfulness, when faced with insincerity beneath a poorly expressed and expounded item of poetry.

I think it is far more important to be fair, than to be tender.

This poem is a great word of advice. I definately agree with you. Great write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
