This amusing poem concerning reviewers is a delightful read! The one thing all the reviewers you wrote about seem to have in common is whether or not they had a positive emotional response to the subject, "flower." Nothing given about the writing ability of the author or the quality of the work itself. Every comment seemed to be focused on "I." The focus never seemed to be place on the work presented. To that end, here's my I's: I think you have gotten the point of your theme across very well in this work. I especially liked this stanza:
'I'm a novelist, I dislike a commentary on a flower'
'I'm a Propoetic, I write Propoetic on flower'
'I'm a British Indian by birth, I love nothing but a flower'
'I'm an American Indian, I love most a sunflower'
'I'm a French Indian, I love only a daffodil flower'
'I'm an Afghani Indian, I love a poppy flower'
'I'm a Bangladeshi Indian, I love a china rose flower'
I suppose one could say that diversity makes the world turn. LOL!

Words cannot convey how I feel about this. No it is not too long as you have utilized every space in order to accurately depict all of the possible reactions that can come from someone who is reviewing something in order to not appear shallow I would like to say that the depth and character and completeness of this peace is difficult to express with words as you have covered all the bases already. This is great advice to anybody who reads, great advice to other reviewers movie Shallow short or quick reviews just to make the number dollars. I found this to be extremely entertaining, very thorough complete, and I'm going to be sure and write more thorough reviews from now on thanks to your advice.

You've obviously read a lot of reviews in your time! When i read your piece (which I found incredibly humorous in an ironic way) the old phrase 'If you've got nothing nice to say, shut up!' ... or something to that effect ;)
Some people are so busy touting self-importance but they don't realise that Emotional intelligence can often count for a lot more than a high IQ. The way we treat others.
I hope you get lots of excellent reviews from this and future works! Thank you :)

This is a very powerful poem and it clearly and intelligently sums up the reviewing conundrum. The fact that there are so many different interpretations of one idea, coupled with the reviewer's own emotions, make this a very entertaining read. The contrast between the lines are very effective and the imagery evokes reviews received and given. Thanks for sharing.

OMG you really drive home your points and your emotion towards your feelings are dramatic. By using the word "flower" you are making serious allusions to your raw convictions and want others to understand. NICE. Read mine, also. lolol liberty justice

Alcreator: you must spend a lot of time at your desk.
I like the flower message inside and how each person
relates to writing and reviewing. My daughter is taking
a poetry course. I like Dorothy and William Wordsworth
and their poem about daffodils. Others, don't care and
read fiction, romance or murder mysteries. We need to
take the time and share thoughts. Nicely done. flylikeaneagle

We all have different views of what is good and/or fantastic. I view much of what I see of your work as thoughts simply pouring creatively out of your mind, like stream of consciousness, much like free writing, but backed by thought, if that is possible or makes sense. I get of a strong sense of what this particular poem is saying or I THINK I do. Perhaps part is the mystery. Reviewers can like or not like what you do. Who cares? If it brings you happiness, that is the key. Some will be critical and some will be impressed that you write from the heart and mind and THAT is the important thing. Do we tell an artist what to paint? I think not. Keep writing. :)

I read this because I need the money. Yes, it is long and becomes very boring. It is hard for me to think people can write reviews such as you have mentioned. We are here to help and encourage not to tare down, Yep, it is long and boring.

An acrostic where every reviewer starts with I, I, I! How sadly true this is; the flower does not grow in order to insult the person who picks it. Then there's the purist who accuses God of having created a faulty flower (I do dislike purists, they have no imagination!).
My problem now is, how do I review a poem about reviewing - carefully I guess. All I can say is, I like it, and more importantly, I appreciate it. Very well composed.
Best wishes, Peter
