Writing poems for review
has been not my view
Reviews criti
cise
or appreciate.
Well, they are best
when there rises
a demand compelling
that of understanding the meanings
and relishing the fine tones
if these two are absent
then reviews ensemble
become fundamentally
wrong and discouraging
killing the poetic muse
and quelling the spirit
to a diabolical struggle
making the poet
die a death
most unnatural.

I once was told by one of my poetry professors at university…”the difference between good poets and great ones…are their critics.”
