Or a subject to their liking
Combine words that come to them

A well thought poem...... Truly splendid...5 stars *****
Yes, both the poets and the critics have two different approaches towards a poem! While one writes mostly to please himself or to satisfy his creative urge using his pen, the other evaluates it and points out the relative merits and demerits, scrutinizing with his eyes. Both the poet and the critic are agents enriching poetry and they are two sides of the same coin. You have put it brilliantly!
The poets have their productive pen And the critics- their spotting specs so true each one has one's own view you too o poet KVE
Posting our poems on a public web site, indeed there should be criticism....as Dillip and Captain Cur have said it should be kind and relevant....sometimes the comments make me doubt if my poem is read and commented... you have chosen an excellent theme to work on Kesav...10++
Yes. Sometimes the comments go berserk. Sometimes irrelevant. We writers have to take them on our stride. A few find a wall to write on, yes? Liked your good observation there
Free to placed them! ! Critic take them up! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A wonderful and insightful poem. Like other freedom, poetic freedom is not absolute. It must be within the bounds of law. I concur with the wonderful comments of Captain Cur.
Decent poets won't cross the lawful boundary. Nice observation Rose Marie. Thanks a lot. Liked
An excellent poem about creativity and criticism. Criticism can be very valuable when done with kind intent.
Yes. Creative criticism can be pleasing. Good feedback Captain Cur. Liked
An excellent poem! I sincerely appreciate your stance but here that does not happen! I like constructive criticism that helps a poet to grow but destructive comments demoralize a poet where he may be tempted to provide justice to his natural and gifted skills of creativity! Top score!
Poets and critics. They change positions. Both have their valuable roles in literature. Demoralization is one thing creative criticism another. Thanks for your nice observation Dillip. Liked
Glad you enjoy your liberty and expect others to have their liberty too!
