David Houston on April 13, 2005I already like you because you are honest, and thanks for commenting on my latest riddle (but please believe me that I can not print it in a poetic verse like the rest of my riddles; this has something to do with the temporary gold membership, or my failure to work through it), and I appreciate your comment. Best regards, David

IWannaBAPhilosopher on March 31, 2005Thanks for putting me straight.
I agree that dishonesty should be avoided, and I'm not saying you should pretend to be blown away by everything you read, because disillusioning the author would be just as bad. I just think that if you can't explain why a poem has not touched you, it might be better to say nothing in some cases, rather than dis-heartening the author. Criticism is no good to anyone unless it's constructive.

presently on March 31, 2005gosh, I didn't even know this was here!
as popeye said: I am who I am.
I have tried not to be unkind in comments...on the other hand poetry , to me, is the essense of communication, and dishonesty, both in reading and writeing should be avoided. I hope that my inability to tell others why they have not touched me will not be seen as a judgement...it really is not, for I know nothing of the teaching of communcation. -
