Some see beauty in words...
in visuals
the play with vocabulary
the ability to tease
and excite the mind
As such they see a poem
as something to critique
criticize
tear apart
dissect
but I am different I suppose
I see beauty in the heart
of the author who penned it
Though spelling isnt perfect
grammar flawed and punctuation AWOL
I can find beauty...
"I LUV U dady" is
beautiful to me
even if flawed to the purist...
Author notes
I get so tired of the poetry snobs on here tearing apart the works of the teens on here. They have totally missed the boat.....

There are some precious teens on here that need our love and encouragement as well as adults. I feel as you do my dear brother and friend. This is just a lovely write of truth spoken so well. This is a poem for all to read. It keeps us humble and accountable for our behaviors within out hearts and souls. I just love you and all that you do for those precious children that call you daddy. I know a few and they adore you!!! I adore you too!!!
Much Love and Prayers

This is so true
When I write a poem I write it at first I dont punctuate or check spelling until I have it completed then I submit it .After which I go back and polish it up for if I stop to do all of this in the middle of my poem I lose it .So bravo to you and I also say look beyond the punctuation and the grammer and find the soul of the write .I love to read all the kids poems on here they tell me so much and I help where I can

awwww.... great example at the end. Up to that point I was thinking I'm with the former, but you do have a point. Expectations must be lowered to meet someone where they are...but must be raised higher for those who's turn it is to move from the milk to the meat, so to speak. Congrats on a good poem and great message.

I love you daddy. This is wonderful and true. I can be a stickler for correct grammar usage. But I dont criticize it. Lord knows I make plenty of mistakes. Lol. This is great. God bless you,

I agree with you. I have read many that there are missed spelled words, or maybe they are hard to read because the grammar isn't right. But they are beautiful and from the heart. There are many here that English isn't their first language, or they are a child, or young person, or maybe just starting out and learning.
Keep up the good work both in your writing and in helping the young people on here.

*raises hand and confesses to being a grammar snob*. I like this poem, especially the way it made me look at myself and the ways that I judge poetry. I cannot divorce myself from an academic view point; and as much as I wish others would rip my own poetry apart in the same manner and try to use that fact to justify my own actions I suppose I must also realize that to some people, poetry is just a hobby.
How do you feel about those who give comments that sincerely feel will help the author to grow as a poet?
