Perfunctory Critic Comments

Joyce, you make a great point. Every poet's expression is uniquely their own. Nobody has a right to try to change it or fix it to fit into some predetermined form. Two thumbs up... nice job! Brian

I reckon I know who you're talking about...again, you have such a calm way of writing, but, as shown above, you can bite, but calmly, when needed...much better than a Howlish piece I would've wrote

Firstly, decent burn on all those types of critics, Hugh! Joyce, there seems to be a proliferation of pompous, perfunctory cavilers plaguing the ubiquitous 'impressive presses.' Couldn't resist the alliteration, folks. You are spot on with this little number, Ms. Chelmo. Kindest regards, Greg

Very true and very well said, a great poem that hits the spot, Love Duncan
