Reveal Secrets Of Your Past

A poem I once wrote was incorrectly repeated and document on an attorney letter of threat. Seems someone added their own words, and admitted things, I used metaphors for. Just goes to show, if guilty and not cautious, you can incriminate yourself, when

How interesting

poetry can be.

 

The author inspired

and uses metaphors,

and the readers, review

and find their own view.

 

Poetry can be so

entertaining and

if not read word for word,

could cause one to jump

to the wrong conclusion.

 

Sometimes when reading poetry,

your secret past can cause one

to add your own words.

 

Repeating and documenting

an author's poem incorrectly,

can sometimes be incriminating,

if you claim the author stated something

that the poem clearly doesn't.

 

So when reading and reviewing

an author's poetry, 

make sure you read

what the author really writes.

Never document and accuse

the author of something

they didn't write.

 

If you do, it could

reveal the secrets

of your past.

 

 

 

 

 

Reviews

[Spat Queen]

I think I see your point but even reviewers can make mistakes and misinterpret things. Most times when this happens a writer gives a reviewer an opportunity to correct their mistakes otherwise it may appear as if the writer has something to be defensive about. I love the way that your true self comes through in your work. You have nothing to hide, it is so rare to see this in such a bold fashion anymore. I think it is rather commendable.

[Voltaire Mephisto (aka ..]

A profound observation.

[Emily B]

We impose our own perceptions on poetry too much. We make the words mean what we want them to . . . how can something so subjective ever be thought of as proof. Wonderful write.

[Dalaina Renee]

Wow!Enough said! Good work!

[Jenny Davis]

I agree with this! I really dislike being misquoted myself ;) Subconciously, things come out and the fingers are then pointed towards them! Good job :)

nice work here. I think the worst thing that can is for a new and young writer who is brave enough to test thier craft on here only to have it slated by reviews. I am a great beliver that reviews should consist more than "this is good" or "That's ok" If people are going to review others work then i wish they would say why the peice was good what emotions did it stir. where did it stand up provoke and cause insight . where was it a bit weak where is work needed to improve maybe structure or tenses or rhytum or rhyme. Poeple tend to forget one major thing. our words weather typed or written carry weight. a world can be built or a world can shatter by a review or a jibe or a belittling comment. I want to be a person whose reviews are constructive and helpful and in doing so help a person to become a better poet a better writer so to inharnse their craft for the greater good.
thank you for writing this peice
Kudos
