No Comments No Success-W

Certainly critics are legless
How to walk they teach us.
They are like the hangman
Say you have a pretty neck.
Pay no attention to the critique
But even don’t ignore them.
I for one can easily ignore comments
Saying nothing and doing nothing. 

Comments may not be agreeable
But are absolutely damn necessary.
It fulfills the same function as
Pain in the human body calling
Attention to an unhealthy state.
If you receive no comments at all
You are likely to have no success.

In case, I am proven otherwise in this
There be no Keats or Shakespeare.

wow... strong stuff here! Well, criticism is as important as appreciation. Right, comments can help us in exploring more within us.... we have to understand what precisely lies beneath us....very well expressed Dr. Ram Mehta :)

Comments not only encourage us, they can help us grow as writers. Constructive criticism is always welcome with me, but not everyone feels this way. Some folks do get their feelings hurt when suggestions are offered. You've been here long enough to identify at least some people who welcome criticism and others who are irritated by it. I certainly agree with the premise that comments help us improve. Well done, Dr. Ram! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn

Good write, doctor. Dumb me. I usually react negatively to negative comments, then have to cool off and get wise. You be wise. Love, Dave
