Advice to readers


Don't.

 

Just read it. Its message is

whatever you want it to be.

There is no right or wrong interpretation.

 

Avoid telling the author

what he or she meant;

they already know that, and anyway,

it's not theirs any more.

They put it out there for you.

So enjoy it however you can, and

try not to complain if you don't 'get' it.

Just go on to another one.

 

You're welcome.

How does one analyze a poem with verses? Not? I like free speech. It allows the writer to speak his or her opinion without being criticized by the poet police. While I agree that there are no reason to get abusive. Sometimes it should be okay to state how you feel about a poem without the person you're reviewing getting so upset for constructive criticism.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
