Critique

Your critique could NEVER run hollow my dear friend. It means the world to me and I can see that there are a lot of others who would agree with me.

Thank you, Jaded.  Your response inspires me!

you are most welcome to rip my pieces to shreds, crow! :) i have given you that license before, and it still stands.

and i will appreciate that just as much as i appreciate your kind words. honesty helps to build the other person's craft.

but i am guilty of the same.  

I'd stop short of tearing into you Minerva.  A lot of your work is much too good for that, even with a license to shred.

Fucking love you! 😘

Critiques only ring hollow from attention whores trying to get under your skin, never from people who truly enjoy reading poetry.

My own skin's kind of thin but I'm working on it.  Thanks Mary.

i echo the ladies above, crowfly... i find your critiques to be honest & so encouraging. sometimes you look at my words in ways & from angles i haven't, thus adding dimension & texture to the picture
anyhoos, before i get all carried away.... your comments are always appreciated & if someone doesn't, send em my way & i'll pound the biatch ;)

I appreciate the back up Katja.  Thanks!

Thanks Jackie!

Wow
Awesome crowfly.

Thanks McJay!

The best critique I ever received was from an Agent who said my book lacked dialogue; that alone made me a more attentive writer.  Sorry for going off base here, Crow. . .Enjoyed the read. . .Devlin.

Writing good dialogue that rings true with eloquence is particularly difficult.  And it's tough to balance it with the other content.  Thanks Devlin.

Critique all you want. Based on conversations I have had with others on here, that is something that is often lacking and much appreciated when it happens. I think we all want to be better poets. That is why I am on here, to be honest.

I wish I had a critique for this poem. It is pretty straight forward in its presentation. And seems solid.

I welcome any of your constructive critique, especially with your writing experience.

Thanks friend. :)

Thanks Sammy.  I'll feel free.

Awe Crow......you leave the best comments......I adore them.....what is it you said to me one time....."be yourself"!!! Tell me those who do not like your comments and I will go leave a few then they will  know good from bad.....LOL!!!! I think you're wonderful!!!! Luv and hugs my friend....xo :)

Thanks for the sweet and supportive comment Flower.

Better some encouragement
Combined with a measured response to measured lines
An accurate assessment of words and scale

It sounds clinical at first to break things down like that, but that's because the material is so universal it goes unsaid.
Can't improve if you're not given anything you can use. Good for you for saying it.

Being dissected's part of the fun.

That's what the zombie said to the necrophile coroner.
