Criticisms Poem by Dr Dillip K Swain

A critic of literature
Is a person emblematic
His delving into poetry is systematic
Never does something hectic

If you are a critic,
Fine, it's an exalted job
Good………Carry on!
Be sure, a few people
Will like you, accept you
Because you are blunt, frank
Never go back to point out
Faults with others' works
Even you appreciate merits.

Your constructive criticisms
Tremendously help a poet
To refine, develop and fine-tune
His earnest poetry piece
Provided that he is willing
To accept your advice

On the contrary,
If you are engaged only
Finding faults with others
Without any constructive offer
All poets will be unhappy with the matter

If you are a genuine critic
Sooner or later they would praise your remarks
But if you play with the sentiments of poets
You won't be spared in the poetic world!
