Deb Wilson Poet Rhyme

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

Carolyn Devonshire October 18, 2010 at 6:20 AM 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
