How I Respond To Critics

If someone mocked my poetry, I will maintain silence, Not a word I will write in response I am not answerable to my critic! Comments of critics are visible to all With their comments they tarnish their own image Some people are egoistic, negative and critical. That's the way God has made them, I cannot change them. But my happiness is my responsibility I owe it to myself It's in my hands and no one can steal it if I don't allow I have learnt over years, to keep mind in present moment Present moment is thoughtless and peaceful I don't think much especially negative thoughts I shun I respect myself and my poetry, Poetry is God's blessing to me Whatever I write comes from deep within, I don't think I am the author Date: 10/31/2020 Contest Name : Judged By A Jury Of Your Peers Sponsor : Mark Koplin

An entirely cleverly written entry, Rama. Right, you're not answerable to critics. Giving the glory to God for your gift displays your humble. A poem worthy of much credit.
