Comments Verses Views

Very rarely,
Do I comment on poems I read.
Even ones I like.
So many perspectives,
Opinions and beliefs.
To harsh are my critiques
Even to my own.
There is still so much
I haven't learned
That I don't feel I'm qualified.

Hi Erica. I don't feel qualified to judge from a technical point of view.But if I like the way a poem reads,the content,the imagery or if it grips me in any way,I feel I want to express my pleasure,and show my appreciation of the poet-like for instance yourself.I genuinely think that some of the Soup poets compare favourably with published poets ,if not better. I read as many as I can.Any remarks are always made honestly from my heart,or my funny bone.I love a laugh too. Love June
