A Criticism Of Critics Comments

Poetry is an individual communication not a group sport. Each reader's response is as valuable as the next. The learned man's response is as true and valuable as the uneducated man's. We write to communicate.

brilliant analogy...

And yet the learned men were wrong, The simple folk were right. very blunt conclusion, this poem is very straightforward but this unmask it to the point of just being an upfront statement. what makes the learned men wrong? and why would they laugh at a new planet? have you ever heard of planetary criticism? is the solar system an art? this to-the-point metaphor is nonsensical at best. if they knew each smallest star and have access to see all things in the sky, then why is the new planet beyond their vision? also, a new planet does not shine rays and is invisible to the naked eye as a new planet would not be able to just appear haphazardly. stars are not planets.
