Ignorant Criticism

there's improper usage of the English language how can one manage, to read something so below average?! oh, the grammatical errors, and the punctuation terrors! so many spelling horrors none of what literature requires lack of capitalization and over dramatization ruining the theme's creation and the flow's demonstration those who ignorantly criticize have sadly failed to realize that to capture a poem's essence the poet must use creative license to form interesting sentences and put them in unique sequences the poet must think artistically and express emotion creatively and therein lies the beauty of writing poetry

Bravo Christy - such a powerful poem that many of us can relate to. I've been writing less than 3 years and have learned so so much about poetry but in the early days had my simple style criticised to the point I nearly gave up writing... but I'm glad people persuaded me to stay and I think I've come a long way in a short time:-) hugs Jan xx

You can say that again and again. I wrote on one site for a while but it was more of a site for novelist, though they did have a section for poetry. Those people on there picked my poetry apart because of missing punctuation and creative word choices and had no concept of imagination. I mean, questions I was asked on one of my flowery romantic pieces were, "How can a horizon sigh?" and "Sandcastles can't weep. That doesn't make sense" :)
