Whenever you write,
Keep this in sight,
Words make a very loud sound,
Some fill with delight,
Others will cause a fight,
Poetry can be very profound.
To an extent,
Some know what is meant,
But context can be taken many ways,
You will never prevent,
Those who resent,
They live to see your end of days.
Verse can bring joy,
Yes and also annoy,
For some there is no in-between,
If your brain you deploy,
The critic you destroy,
Their talent will never be seen.
Don't be afraid,
At times to be swayed,
That decision will always be yours,
The message conveyed,
You cannot evade,
The ability to learn reassures.
Write what you feel,
Whether fictional or real,
Make sure it comes from within,
From others don't steal,
There is no appeal,
Criticism take on the chin.
Stand tall and proud,
Never be cowed,
If you try to be honest and true,
You can shout out loud,
With talent you're endowed,
Your biggest critic?
‘' It's You ‘'
