My Poetry, Reproached

College English 101; instructor, Professor Rawlift who reproached my poetry, but that became a gift. You see, his criticism made me more astute, and thus, I was happy to complete the course with a grade of A plus December 21, 2020 Clerihew Poetry Contest Sponsored by Regina McIntosh

Sometimes it takes a little push. Elvis Presley was told by his music teacher that he had no talent and he needed to pursue another career. LOL..Congrats on this winner. Sara

Sometimes nothing better than a kick in the AAS+, for some of us Jenna, we do become more astute, whilst others lose self confidence, it’s a very thin line, but good mentors, normally get the balance right, congratulations on the win, cheers David.

I can relate to this Jenna. In grade school I was the worse speller ever. My grade two teacher said to me, by the time you are done with my class you will be able to spell, and I did learn. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts, Merry Christmas, love and light, xo

It was what I needed to make me dig deeper into poetic devices and writing from the heart and past experiences. Emotional poetry reads best when it's based on true life. Thank you, Jan.

You certainly showed him Jenna, if he could see you now, a top poet here on poetry soup, I mean that. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. Tom
