I read a thing, I don't enjoy, but do not criticise.
"Feel it. Just take it in.", are words, from the wise.
I leave it be, or, guide its author, gently;
I don't act as though "Poetry Heaven" sent me.
I need not, your words of dislike, for my rhyme;
Trust me, if you will, you're wasting your time.
Especially, if your own, are so impersonal;
you might as well, have pasted mine.
Mine are written, with feeling and thought.
Fame, is someone, they've never sought.

I give you, freely, a rhyme or two
Brilliantly, you might criticise;
yet, still, I would not trade minds with you.
Accept my words, or not; be respectful.
Sheltered, you are not; by the title "Intellectual".

"Criticise", I say! I'll only ignore, and simply move my eyes.
Knowing criticism of poetry, is not a hobby of the wise.

Well, two thoughts to ruminate on:

1. "If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut."
-- Albert Einstein

2. "Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac."
-- George Carlin

good luck
