On Criticism
#9
i didn't have a problem with it. in fact i thought it good, so much so that it reminded me of the road less travelled. (which is often the best one to take. )

Quote:Maybe it is possible, but usually honesty and kindness are opposite alternatives.
Honesty can be brutal, while kindness is often a white lie reinforcing the recipient's delusions.

not in giving feedback or critic.
you point out why something doesn't work for you, as in, this doesn't work for me because, or would it read better without the last two lines.

it could also be said as; i think that's shite, or, what the fuck are the two last lines there for. they don't do fuck all for the poem.

in feedback, kindness is a little bit of respect. a way to not cause hurt. i can critique a poem showing what i perceive as all it flaws without purposefully hurting or demeaning the poet. i know what it's like to have some nasty bastard tear my work to shreds just for the sake of it. sadly i have on occasion done the deed myself

as for the dress thing. i'd tell the truth and see doing so as being kind.

good to see you posting here, try a posting a poem or leaving some feedback on a few of the poem. in the poetry section
