Critic's Nightwatch Comments

The bond of relationship between a poet and his critic beautifully unveiled. Well deserved modern poem of the day.

At home alone the critic poured gall on the poet's work in polished careful prose. He tore apart meaning and metaphor, demolished diction, syntax, metre, rhyme; called his entire works a crime against the integrity of art, .../// great write about the artistic activities; yes, poet is poem, artist is artist, has independent intelligence, for their spontaneity they are artist, poet, different from the public; I think it's not wise to critic any poet or artist by as usual law of arts

'Light sneaked beside his bed. The birds began their insistent questioning of silence, and the poet's words prompted by daylight rasped his raw nerves, and the waking world he saw was flat with prose and would not sing.' - Loved these concluding lines. Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

Critics are mean at times! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
