Dedicated to critics who like to throw their egos around (not anyone at Passions, of course!). Poetic Crap A quick review dashed by dots, quoting Tennyson the deed done on to the next, a learned skill tearing up egos. Smash this line, the truncation, lack of originality smacking of plagiarism this familiar title? Don’t take it personally! Here to help, you see! Take up knitting my dear, forget all about poetry. Some damned critiques Just dole it out Like so much Poetic Crap. © 2000 CM Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 06-14-2000).] |

wonderful poem Corinne. I am getting ready to send off my poetry manuscript to publishers and eagerly awaiting the rejection letters. I think I might them this time. LOL. a great poem, honestly ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "You do not destroy an idea by killing people; you replace it with a better one". Edward Keating ----- |

So damn true, and so well penned by you, Corinne... .......... out from the blue, a bolt, he gave a wicked jolt, a critic disguised as a poet, made mince-meat out of my words, he ate!!! ........... enjoyed this one... regards, sudhir. |

I enjoyed this. I got a critique from a well-known man(teacher and critic) on 6 of my poems.Critique was ok until I asked him some question's about poetry. Hmmmm, he couldn't answer and then sent me some of his poetry to illustrate what he meant in critique.Not related point at all.I wonder if he was a good instructor! Thanks.Good poem.

Saw the title...saw the author...couldn't believe what I saw...had to come in, smile awhile, and in me a little voice said "awhhh!" "Poetic penchant in Passion's pen does not meet with red-lined zen, so take away your churlish remark so that I may still want to embark on the truth of word that's in my soul, for by God I'll speak till I grow old and in my golden days I'll voice that Passions is my place of choice!"

Yes! so true. Who are they to judge? Who appoints them? They like to gather their opinions together in dark rooms of depression. Let them go criticize the special olympics and see how they do! |

LOL.... I once indulged myself of a "critiquing"... in a place far, far away from Passions Place... They had only three things to say to me - (1) You seem to have a good command of poetic format - (2) You should get rid of your archaic language - and (3) Stop using those silly word plays...  It seemed to me that to do as they suggested would make me totally generic - #2 and #3 are pretty much my signature, don't ya think??? I said "Thanks for your input"... and went on my merry way - using archaic vocabulary and lots of puntry....  |

Just spend all your time at Passions and don't even bother with that other place anymore. Who needs it? Critics like that aren't worthy to read your stuff. Denise |

Thank you for your great comments, Walt, Brain, Sudhir, Nate, Magnolia Blue, Sunshine, Ethome, Nan, Parker, Denise and Serenity. This poem is a bit indulgent, but saw some folks really take a fellow poet apart after I had recommended the site to him, and I felt just awful about it, soooo, had to express it, right??? thanks again, Corinne |

Wow Corinne ... wonderful poem! Please don't even tell me where these other places are! I'm almost in tears just thinking about it ... geez, it took me a long time to get the courage to come here to post at Passions ... I can't imagine how I'd have felt if my first experience posting someplace was as harsh as some sound. Thank goodness for this place ... I'll not wander anywhere else ... too scared! Best wishes, /Kit |

you go, poet! One thing, though. In S4, L3-L5, could you try to give us a better picture of how you feel? LOL Rick |

Thanks, Marge! Yeah, pompous, uptight, smarter-than-thou so-and-sos they are! Thanks, Tracie! Yes, Kit, it is scary. But the more you post in different places, the more feedback you get (in most forums). Some people will love your poems while others will rip them apart. The only thing that really matters is whether you like what you've written. Doreen, no, but should I take a peek? Thanks, RAM, I'll try to be more explicit next time, Mr. Critic! LOL Corinne |

Very interesting thoughts Corinne...my first poem was posted in critical analysis and it was a very humbling experience to be told that I didn't really know anything about writing poetry...I already knew that anyway..so no suprise...but I was hoping for a little encouragement. Then I tried OP 4 and it was much better...I received some nice comments...I was much happier and continued to write and I believe I have improved...the critics would still love to pick me apart but they would have to agree that I have improved...anyway I believe that. I suppose we are critiqued each time we write depending upon the number of hits we receive...not necessarily upon excellence...but style and content...James |
