RE: "Smile" (poem/article) >>> Almost-Announcing "Marg's Homework Poetry Contest"

in #poetry6 years ago

@dollarsandsense,

My thoughts, impressions, and critiques are about as useful as a NASCAR fan looking at a Picasso painting.

And as always, here is my blanket disclaimer that this is all simply my opinion and I generally never have any idea what I am talking about :)

Ridiculous. This is one of the most insightful commentaries I have received in 20 years of writing poetry. I reread it 3-4 times. YOU ... NEED TO BE a Curator!!! THIS ... is what Steemit could be.

Comparing the two poems, I think yours relies more heavily on symbolism than Marg's does. Yours is also directed outwardly, as observation and recommendation to humanity, while Marg's is directed inward, as the recounting of a personal tale of growth.

Well said. Thanks for this excellent commentary..
