Writer's Review

Light-hearted story about having one's work critiqued. Nuff said

Oh, the moment a writer awaits with dizzy dread
The review of words that pour from one's head
Deliciously devouring critiques sweet and sour
Checking for new ones at least once an hour
Artists who dance and praise with a pen
Can expect a review time and again.
For whom lack life through artistic expression
Surely have woes and bouts of depression
Not all is lost, there's time to learn
A detailed review one must earn
For reviews are neither friend nor foe
A simple tool to help us grow
Though, not always kind or polite
It sure does encourage a better write.

"Artists who dance and praise with a pen
Can expect a review time and again." My favorite line, although, I think your poem as a whole was fantastic and something that we all think about on here.

I agree. I believe negative review done by private e-mail. Good not to embarrass readers in public. Thank you for the wisdom in your words.
