Oh how I wish

Oh how I wish Is an old poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Oh how I wish
That some people
Would understand
My poems
And not send
Bad comments about my poems
Oh I wish
My readers knew how hard I work
To write my poems
Oh how I wish My readers would enjoy my poems
But not all my readers love my poems
And this is something that I have to consider

Dear Aldo. There is no accounting for taste. You have to accept that not everything you pen is going to be well received. That is a fact of life and all poets will know that. Useful critique can be helpful, abusive comments are not. Keep on writing, don't be discouraged.

I have found that often some of my writes don't resonate with my readers... sometimes the ones that I love are not liked by others:/ and other times the ones I am not very fond of become the ones that others love:/ In all artistic expression and endeavor the act of exhibition has an inherent risk we as artists must always be willing to take... withing in this is a feeling of personal rejection if are art doesn't meet with approval we can take it personally because when we express we do it with our hearts. This is wrong because it is never a rejection of you it is merely a rejection of that piece of art some people love Picasso others love Klimt its not personal it just what resonates to their given tastes:) remember this the next time someone doesnt like something you shared and remember if someone is critiquing for the sake of being critical it is a reflection of them not you:) and most importantly don't quit just be you completely you... write on my friend
