Critiquing poetry
Having read you critique on my work
then having read yours
and
the comments of two
WOW’s
They know what they say
but
I have a word too
permit me will you
There is nothing I or you have said or say
that has not been said before
nor what you compose today
will not be composed
I of that I amn't sure
but life repeats itself in cycles
you are just a spoke
as we all are too
But today as you seek a PhD
I only pray good victory for you
Pardon my gibbering
I as I have said before
ain't a poet at all
Wonder why folks read me
and my broken verse
coz maybe I amn't that useless
may be terse
Please pardon my unwarranted
discourse or silly verse
maybe it could be worse!
Hopefully, not lady poet....

This self-pitying, self-indulgent stuff
is the worst of your work.
Stephen Fry once said- "I can say this sentence and be confident it has never been uttered before in the history of human communication: 'Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers.'"
Originality is always possible. Meaning and quality are to some degree quantifiable.
You do so much better when you write of feeling and experience than of poetry. Please do, you are so much better than this, my dear.
thanks jess
Many cheers you are one
and one ONLY
