Go get 'em Eileen. You know how to give it back and have them x-raying themselves to find the fool.
Excellent Sis. Proud of you!

(((Eileen))),

You've said it more eloquently than I ever could. No, we poets don't follow conventional rules, but those who blatently flame/attack rather than utilizing constructive criticism should sit up and take notice. Well done, my friend.

(((HUGS))), love and prayer, Karla.

Well said, ET! I don't know what's going on, or if there IS anything on, or if you just felt called upon to put the naysayers of the world in their place; but your piece is excellent! Excellent!

Peace. Joyce

All writers have their own way of writing and no one should critise anyone just because he doesn't like the style. The only thing he can do is to read elsewhere. Victor

Well!!! I guess you told them, Eileen!! LOL I think that there is room for everyone here, but being petty is of service to no one. As my mother always used to tell me, "If you can't say something nice, refrain from commenting at all." I am not sure I agree with that 100 percent, but in most cases, it really does make for a more peaceful environment; critique is on thing ridicule and personal attacks are another. I hope whomever you are referring to, understands the difference and behaves like an aware and educated adult. There are enough places in life where we have to deal with stress and negativity; there is no reason to bring it here as well.
Take care,
Sherry

this poems enforeces poetic correctiveness ... poets should always look forward to new ideas and modes of expression, even if they don't agree with their message or impressed by their format ... diversity stimulates ...
"conditioned rules" only create walls and conformity... a poet should seek the unique and work at it until its successful in its intent and design ...

Eileen, it's a sad world we live in, but you are correct and right to rant about things that are not Holy. Unfortunatly, there are so many that have deaf ears. Jealousy, envy, and liars, in the end what goes around comes around. God Bless, Holly
