Comments

Some comments from famous senior poets,
Few giggles from my younger poets,
And the day goes bright and is done,
And seems the whole world I have won !

And surprisingly a sweet tribute,
Leaves me wordless and mute,
Wow Heavens is this poetry soup,
Never knew existed such an amazing group,

Such a spirit of positive comments,
Creative learning and joyous moments,
Though never got some negative ones, 
But really am scared of shots and guns,

Sensitivity and emotions thy name is poet,
Negative comments are certain to cause hurt,
Why sadden someone at the end of the day,
If can't be positive, keep your words at bay!

Dear Dr. Upma, I'm so glad you have received uplifting and supportive comments. Your last verse should be on the home page of Poetry Soup. This is supposed to be a site for learning, sharing and growth. As my mother said, "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all." Wishing you success in the contest with this wonderful write! Love, Carolyn

With God's grace till date I hv never hurt anyone wid my words, I m not at all a critique , everyone is unique in his own thinking ways n I respect that, coz positivity- negativity and right and wrong are all relative terms, they really can't be defined my friend!

Thnx for visit Anne Lise! I agree that comments can be positive as well as negative, but shud be critical to an extent not to hurt anyone , n that dignity needs to be maintained
