The souls of those who see the world with a black veil sheltering their eyes do not know the pain they cause others standing in a row swaying as if they were druken sailors pushing me into a deeper hole toying with my heart playing a tug of war with my soul they are the critics who cause such pain to poets, to writers, to philosphers, and those who aren't cold hearted, they are the ones we fear in our dreams, they take away are imagination and our creative nature ~Ina~ This is dedicated to all of you we are destroying my poetry, you may not reply. but i am not afraid of u! anymore! |

I think what you said is very true, we fear critics sometimes and they can change our work into something that we don't want it to be. The way your note at the end is written is kind of confusing to me, can you please explain it? "This is dedicated to all of you we are destroying my poetry, you may not reply. but i am not afraid of u! anymore!" But anyway, nice job on the poem, I think it's done well. "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! |

I think this poem was really good. I think that if you don't reply to someone's poem it'll just bring that person that wrote it have lower self asteem. Also though, some people may not respond to them because they don't know what to say. I'm sorry you feel hurt and this is the first time I've ever read one of your poems. I really enjoyed it and I think that you have a very good way of expressing yourself. Just look at both sides of your situation...think about why they wouldn't reply, but then it always makes someone feel good the more replys they have. I know it does me! ~Guys are like stars, there are millions of them, but only one can make you dreams come true~ |

Ina this was a great hey-leave-us-poets-alone-because-we're-people-and-we-don't-like-you kinda poem. haha....did that make sense? I don't know....but great job nonetheless!

This is a really good piece. I know what it's like to have to face critics. (I live in a housefull!) All you can do is keep on writing and prove them all wrong, which you are obviously doing. They are the ones that are missing out, so don't worry about them. False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

I just wanted to say I know how you feel, but not everyone understands the emotions a poet can put into his or her words. Remember that there will always be someone out there that hears what you are saying and appreciates it. love leslie |

Remember to write for yourself first, and know that many may read even if they don't respond. It is a lesson we all eventually have to learn Ina, and it is no reflection on a poets works. Sometimes friendships have grown on forums and then responses are many. I have not been here to read many of the teens poetry, but I will now, because I felt this way when I first began writing and didn't understand that the importance of writing is to touch even one person and also to release what is inside you as a sensitive person. huggz..I hope you understand my words. And to anyone who says they don't like what you write without explaining why..well I would suggest that they are very impolite and have no manners and shouldn't be listened to anyway. ~Wynter Bliss *also it helps to respond to others ... I don't know if you do or not..just a suggestion  "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Aww hun...there are always gonna be critics out there. Everyone has different opinions so its inevitable that your gonna get hit with a few not-so-nice remarks every now and then but what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger right? You said it yourself, your not afraid of those kind of people anymore and you shouldnt be! Your who you are and you write how you want and you should be damn proud of it cause thats what makes you who u are. Kick ass poem!! |

I'm just hoping that I'm not included in that list. I really don't know if I have missed your poems or not. Most of the time, I don't look at the poets name. If I have made the mistake of not replying to your poems, it's not something done intentionally, but just out of coincidence.

Hey. I tink dat I may be one of those peeps on your 'harsh critics list'...I just wanna say that I don't try to be harsh at all! I just care about people too much or something...and I apoligize for any hurt I caused. Anyways, I liked the poem. And if I'm not on that 'list', it just seems better to apologize. So I'm sorry, sorry that you had to endure mean words. ~Carly |

this was a great poem. dont ever let people get in the way of your true feelings and emotions cause they help make you who you are.. writing does. i know how you feel. people dont necessarily have to criticize others work directly to show that they dont think highly of it. But it just shows how little minds they have!! great job!"just because you dont know it or havent seen it, doesnt mean it isnt possible" |
