Is like walking

Weak Ego

A weak ego 
frequently goes ablaze
In the dark kettle of criticism, 
And becomes more cold.
Without its companion woes 
shrinks and breaks in silence.

No Criticism

Queens to rule
Robbers to steal
Scientists to experiment
Teachers to teach
Why mess it up sir, let them do their work and you do what you are told to………

I appreciate criticism love to hear your thoughts/ enlightenment can't be bought/ your words can be the net to the pimped butterfly that is too evasive to be caught.

Criticism

criticized by wise
     it's totally flattering
      is stimulating ...

      is execration cursing,
       is crucifixion ...

Premium Member An Oxymoron

Constructive criticism,
A term oft misused.

In enhancing another's,
Daily performance.

Be politically correct,
and leave less abused.

Positive feedback,
Encourages conformance.

Dear Friend, Don'T Talk To Me

To my dear friends  
Who often mends  
each other's, 
Imperfections 

Through criticism we reflect 
Through laughter we forget 
And through unspoken words 
We keep, and say another's

Those Who Can'T

Tin cup of criticism
hollow and blue
Empty aspersions
poison the brew

Its venom unasked for
distilling in pain
Opinion left rancid
—acidic and vain

(The New Room: November, 2021)
Form: Rhyme

Constructive

a thin film of pride
scorn'd by the green and vintage
merlot dialogues
coagulated thoughts, make
growing pains turn arthritic

---------
If I never learn to take criticism.....how will I grow?

Words 3

Would you really want to hurt someone
Or would you rather be an encouragement
Remember what you speak it has power
Do you know the true power of criticism
Speak but use power of encouragement

Dry Swimming Pool

Dry Swimming Pool

He learned how to play with a loose tool;
Suffered from much criticism and ridicule,
When he had lied,
After a while died,
Being fool who dove into dry swimming pool.

For each specific thing that one performs

Easy it is us him to criticize

But if we try better than him to do

We may fail the same task to realize.

RHYTHM
I am listening to the rhyme of the rhythm 
Nothing can compare to your wisdom
Life is something synchronized with system
Can we withstand the worst criticism

Gaza

The chorus of criticism
echoes unblessed
Where millions hide waiting
misled and repressed

Destruction and mayhem
the rallying cry
With freedom the villain
— in hope’s genocide
