Young Reviews

Some young poets may mistake Reviews as a door for more discussion A vast arena where one can make An endless lane for Argumentation. Reviewing further on a review The comment box becomes gibe talk Topic diverted to irrelevant issues Until its there that Gossip walks Perhaps a line has to be drawn Where Poetry as art should have a place Center the review on what it spawns The impact, the theme, what the poems says ------------- This poem was written as a satire for young poets who have mistaken the comment box as a place for pointless discussion/arguments and some have gone so far as talk about an erring mother (the subject of a poem) . Such practice diverts the purpose for reviews - which is to comment on the poem - not on the character or subject, for then it ends up as a 'gossip box'.
