Love the artwork! It is the perfect critical review pic! Your poem flows well and has good rhyming couplets. The mix of alliteration adds flavor to the piece! Good luck in the contest!

This is witty and so very truth. You use lots of cliche, some of the one I don't like like "Your poem makes one happy to be alive.Sorry, I have no six to give, so you get five." Yeah.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, I loved it! This was sooo perfect; I like the way you "horsewhip" the work and then say at the end that it was all sarcasm and you give it a five! I almost laughed out loud at how you said I could mute you all I want, but you will still reappear under another name (lol). That happens here too.
Your verse was brilliant, and I am very honored to received such a review for my crappy poem. Smile.
Hugs and love, Y.

Thank you very much. You had a great and new idea. It was fun to join.
Comment from abbasjoy
This is truly funny. Love the rhyming and the wit, especially the unexpected ending. I had no idea the reviewer would have even considered a five, never mind a six.
By the way, the picture you used just takes the cake. You could just imagine a review like the one you wrote about, coming from someone like the man in the picture.
Loved it.

It was so tempting to give you a two star rating for this, just for the hell of it.... but in fairness, it's a very amusing look at the whole issue of reviewing. Nicely done. :-)

Author: Very funny, but, oh so real! If a person gets a 4 rating, you would think the world had ended! A writer might have had a bad day or posted it too soon and didn't refine the piece. And, spite reviews. . .those make me laugh that people are so stupid they think those make a difference. Let's see how many more 4's I can give them! But, I digress. This poem has lively rhyme and rhythm, made me laugh and the picture is hilarious. livelylinda

Your picture fit your words to a T. I enjoyed the emotion you expressed were quite fun, but I truly loved the last line the most. Bravo! Blessings and good luck in the contest.

Comment from adewpearl
good use of rhyming couplets
you hit well on the kind of silly things people will "review," such as font type and color choices
I also like the reviewer's admission that he'll get around muting by taking on a new name as a standard reviewer - I've had that done to me more than once
and I love the prejudice against foreign forms, also something people encounter here - I wish you hadn't back pedaled and taken it all back with that final stanza - satire should stay satire all the way to the bitter end :-) Brooke
