MINI POetry Review Challenge: MINIPORC
Please participate by publicly reviewing at least one published poem per day this week, as discussed here.
SarahJ of The Rain in My Purse has got the ball rolling with her review.
And Very Like a Whale weighs in, a whale of a weigh-in.
I prefer to think of myself as a shark rather than a whale…
All large marine animals count.
As you can see, the review is part of a larger conversation, so I hope you don’t feel too singled out.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, flawed though it may be…
Each day when I write a review on WEE, I expose myself to potential ridicule. The act of criticism is a vulnerable one, a revelatory one. Opinions, by their nature, are flawed, are incomplete, are tainted by bias and headache and the fact that I found raisins in my oatmeal when I despise raisins.
Perhaps it only takes one day for the answer to my question about reviewing being worth the time to be a resounding “NO!”
