Ph: Critics Poem by Ging Taping

Ph: Critics

Rating: 4.7


You always keep a record of wrong..
'Correction your Honor! '
Comments are too long...

You have telescopic eyes
No single word and grammar-
Slips thru your sense of sight..
Even lines and spacing - won't let it by..
When it doesn't suit your sense of style.
You gather all mistakes and file..
Then post what you know is right.

Life in PH is not an easy task..
Like living in a flask.
CRITICS are in every corner at ease..
Ready for the quest.
Waiting for the Best and the Beast 'MASTERPIECE'

'Sorry I did not mean to embarrassed' -their line-
But self esteemed already washed.
Next time too careful not to fluff.
But it ended gaffe..


We made mistakes and fall..
Even animals w/four legs may stumble and fall..
So focus on your own tale..
Let me pull my own tail..

Aloha Ging... It is not so much of them being critics... but more of the snide nature of their limited bloodlines and social delusions about the level of their worth to anyone else that truly counts... in a few words or less... The Critic's Snipes by Michaelw1two elusive creatures comprehension's rude tweakers mumble mindlessly I have gathered together a few websites which could allow you to certify your works before posting... seems this works for me... Thank you for your efforts to show US that being a critic does not allow one to be critically abusive on any level... all of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michael.

A very interesting observation. Literary critics review a written work - they do not criticize. To review means to assess objectively the merits or flaws of a work for the main purpose of improvement and perhaps, applauding its excellence. To criticize, on the other hand, is to simply find fault and make the writer feel attacked by stressing the errors instead of suggesting corrections, needed editing, or pointing out some grammatical blunders (yes they are appalling) . When we post on the web - we can expect people to comment (not necessarily criticize) and they have that freedom to say what they think. Some writers do write the most grammatically shocking sentences that will really turn English teachers from their graves. Perfect grammar is always a requirement in writing and we cannot change that rule unless we write in our own language. Learning to write correct grammar is a challenge and a possibility we all can achieve, and correction is the first step to that.

Critic n 1. One who forms and expresses judgments of the merits, faults, value, or truth of a matter. 2. One who specializes especially professionally in the evaluation and appreciation of literary or artistic works: a film critic; a dance critic. 3. One who tends to make harsh or carping judgments; a faultfinder.

As long as people do a critique of a work objectively, instead of going around and criticise someone with a personal attack, I assume the criticism is worthy. One should not have a 'holier than thou' attitude while finding merits and de-merits of a work of art. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this much :)

what a talented way of expressing negative forces! Ph! ! ! it makes me smile too. Yes everyone wants to point their finger at someone. earlier it used to make me fall. sometimes a hundred times. Now criticism are like rungs of a ladder. Excellent figure of speech
