I recently picked a new primary care physician.

After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for a fish my age.

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you
think I'll live to be 80?"

He asked, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?"

"Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing either."

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

I said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!"

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun. . . like playing golf, sailing, hiking,
or bicycling?"

No, I don't," I said.

He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

"No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."

He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a damn if you live to be 80?

No one but you is "NEGATIVE POUNCING". An honest critic/reviewer says what s/he thinks needs to be said. Maybe you should retreat from the real world to a nunnery where everything is sweet and praiseworthy. - How do you expect writers to learn when YOU praise pap and never mention crap? And. . . "leave this forum alone. . ." ??? Dear lady, I was here long before you. If anyone has changed the nature of this forum it is not I. This used to be a much more purely poetic forum, not a clique-club with certain posters trying to see who can start the most threads or post the most posts and pat the most backs.

"you expect writers to learn when YOU praise pap and never mention crap? "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

there were three students and two teachers
one teacher was positive and saw beauty in everything
the other was negative and found something wrong with everything
now one student learned from the positive teacher
and one student learned from the negative teacher
and the last student learned from both teachers...

as it turned out one student learned there is negativity in everything
another learned there was beauty in everything
and the last student learned that there is both.

the one thing I am sure of,
all five still ahve a lot to learn ...
includung not excluding the teachers and or "critics"

 

[BooMerengue]

See what happens when you have too many? Soon as you get settled in your rocker you have to get back up and head for the outhouse...again!!

for the most part Rybka stays in his hole

this is what is known as taking an objective look, that is what criticism is all about, an openess to what someone else has to say, because we cannot look at our own work subjectively.

Notice, I have said nothing about teachers, notice I never will, I will talk about learning and the key to learning is to listen and think.


This is your quote:
"fostering a slew of comments from those with out merit or degress is a hen house full of chickens squawkin, and not exactly helpful."

now count the threads
now count the posts

do see how YOUR words can be used against you

(I keep my homemade wine out there! sshhh...)

Satan opened the door of Hell one day and an engineer entered. He looked around and told Satan, "I think I can fix this place up a bit." Satan smiled and said "Go for it, man! Whatever you want!"

A couple days later God called to see how Satan was doing. Satan said "God! It's great down here now; we have escalators through the fiery ways and air conditioning throughout!" God said "Whaaattt??? You can't have all that! How did that happen?" Satan replied "We have an engineer." God said "You can't have an engineer- send him up here immediately!" Satan laughed and said "Nope! We're keeping him!" God flew off the handle and sputtered "Dammit! I'll sue you!" Satan laughed hysterically and shouted "Where you going to find a lawyer?"

your kidding right?



An Award to any body that can disect a poem or speak their mind harshly, rather they have A Literary degrees or not? Who would have thought of that?

You two, I like, so here it is in a nut shell ... there are two ...that I know of and would certainly like to be enlightened if there are more ...with the professional background and or college degree that states they are qualified to critic a write. Now from what I have seen most comments here are mere wind and hot air, as Lauren said ...her critique is nothing more than her opinion.

so how can you (qualified?) give an Award for being negative? certainly you intend to assure these are qualified critics? or just any Joe Blows opinion?

(~_~)

Whine - One joe blow opinion is now to write from the heart - actually borrowed from someone else

All you guys who place so much emphasis on an actual degree, you are making way to much of it!! some of the most accomplished writers of all time had no degrees. They had life experience and the ability to express themselves.

I said it before, will say it again, a "degree" only proves someone had the time and money to go to school, thats it,nothing else.

as for YDD? I dont think she ever left a comment on anything I wrote, but boy did she get me fuming a few times with stuff she left on others. Looking back, it shoudlnt have bothered me, with all the good she did...maybe I was just jealous she didnt call me a backwoods hick....

no, no, no the "credential" thing was from someone who couldn't take criticism, who insisted that anything that did not rave about his was valueless.

Your writings are your credentials, your comments are your credentials, both of your's have always impressed me.
