What I read, askance,
Give out complements,
Like false peppermint scent,
Giving praise, I never meant.
Sincerity is not temerity,
It’s part of a poet’s heart,
Poetry is much too sacred,
To lie about it and tear it apart.
Be as it may,
A critic, I am not,
Selfishly, what touches me,
Is what, I’ll keep in heart.
