Critiquing 'N' Kindness

I know what you are thinking This poem really stinks Why did he bother writing it Why'd he waste the ink What kind of form, did he use It's not on any list It doesn't follow any rules Oh Boy, this gets me P*ssed Where'd he learn to spell And make those stupid rhymes He must have been, held back in school At least a hundred times My kid could do a better job I'm telling you it's true In several colored crayons And She is only two But, I have to show some mercy Critique it with kindness although he slaughters poetry I'll just say, something timeless So, in the comment box below I'll be a little trite And type a saying we all know Hey So-and-so "Great Write" by JT Curtis May 13, 2014

Hey, Jerry. That was a Grate Write. Opps, was that a slip on the spelling. Well, seriously, I truly did enjoy reading this one. Very clever and I think it rolled out pretty good..... Robert.

We'll be truthful. Yes, you slaughter poetry and we love it. Take it to the grinder and make hamburger meat out of it. Maybe we will have a stew :)

At last, an honest opinion----thank you Toquyen----but I think it would make a better Pâté.

hahaha. I see these kinds of comments all the time. Probably people think I am doing these kinds of comments sometimes, but I for one DO try to be as honest as I possibly can here at Soup. That said, I will tell you "this is GREAT" (and that is no bologna!!)

Thanks Andrea, I truly believe everyone is sincere with their comments. It's when my poem gets a view and no-comment that makes me wonder----At least with Bologna I could make a sandwich, Ha !
