I've had many comments on my poetry, some I agreed with, some I did not. I accept critisizms as constructive, but not when they are judgemental. To me, the only helpful critisizm is one which is objective in nature. Someone once left a msg in my guestbook commenting on my poetry, and I would like to address it, if he or she is ever to come back. It spoke of how poetry was only to be pure truth, that it expresses our deepest emotions. They told me that I wasn't expressing everything I felt, that I was inhibited in my writing, and they accused me of sugarcoating my work. I found these comments to be unfair, because how could they know to what degree was my expression? Can they see inside me, do they know how I feel, what my truths are? I very highly doubt it, and so I was slightly annoyed that someone would judge me on their own experiences, without knowing really of what they were talking about in reference to me personally. I use complex phrasing sometimes, and use words that seem to be only for show, to pretty things up. Sometimes I use very simple phrasing. It all depends on what I'm feeling at the time is all. As well, certian words just express so perfectly, and gives it a feel, to me, that is very satisfying. I admit, I just like some words cause I like they way they sound rolling off my tounge when I speak my stuff aloud :o) I guess the whole point of writing all this was just to clarify a bit of my opinion on poetry, and to ask others to refrain from judging that which they don't comprehend fully, as in they are my deepest emotions, and not theirs... |
