Don'T Like To Be Unkind

People write from their heart and soul Or some use their funny bone When I read what they have there Try to figure out the tone But some of the writing eludes me So I don't know how to react And I really hate to be unkind Want to leave their feelings intact Mostly I do leave a comment Say just what I'm feeling But if I can't be encouraging Or the writing's unappealing Then I don't express anything at all I figure it's better that way After all it's just my opinion Maybe there's nothing to say ** for contest Comments Verses View sponsored by HGarvey Daniel Esquire

Well said Deb, some poems loose me. I then find it hard to leave a comment, but that doesn't stop me liking the poem. I applaud all efforts >> James :)

Deb, I feel the same way. If we can't offer encouragement, there's no point in hurting someone with criticism, especially when there's a chance we may have missed the writer's intent. Sometimes when I do leave comments, authors write and tell me I missed their messages. Well said! Best wishes in HG's contest. Love, Carolyn
