Yalto
Invented by Edward Ibeh: line 1 to 15: 3,4,2,4,5,3,2,3,2,3,3,5,6,1,5, no rhyme required.

When I feel
     my words under
          attack
               by a critic
                    I check the truth of
                         their critique,
                              to judge
whether I
     pay heed
          or ignore
               their advice,
                    they may mean well
                         or think they have talent
                              but,
I rarely respond.

Silence is golden many a time.Critiscm can be constructive or destructive. Many people mean well but there are always those few which don't.So we have to be as wise as a fox..to choose the good from bad. Loved your post.
