Good and Bad Reviewing

by Debi Pick Marquette


So have you questioned a review, like did they read my post

And when they're done, you ask yourself, was this to be a roast


Many are really awesome; we can tell they read each line

But some will leave you thinking, am I sure they reviewed mine


And some are so spot on, and I applaud their honest tone

And then there's those I wonder, am I in the twilight zone


I cannot read long posts, until my eye surgeons correct

I have to pay my own, if I can't read, I don't collect


And feedback is the greatest gift; up there with a six star

How we improve, from day to day, and help us to go far


Some try to throw you off and pick at things so unrelated

But you're not fooling anyone, smug cannot be debated


I've heard one say, who cares, but is it fair to all the rest

The ones who follow all the rules and always do their best


Next time I read one just like that, so not to feel abused 

I'll know that I am not the one, who really is confused

This was written for a friend who had gotten a disturbing review from someone, who obviously did not read her story, then proceeded to tear it apart because he didn't understand it. She was insulted and very hurt.

For myself as well, the only thing I will not not tolerate is not being read, (I had someone read a post about my dog and they said they were sorry my grandma died)
And I despise disrespect and smug. I am human with feelings. All I ask is what I give out.
When friends hurt, the mama bear comes out, and this is that result.

Everyone who is reading this is the 99% of reviews who are awesome. And as I include feedback is so important. It is the only reason I feel myself improving daily. And most are so generous with six stars too. And as my friends that have been so great with your awesome reviews, I praise you as in this poem. I hope the humor shows that I mean no offense to anyone unless they feel the need to get their message across with rudeness. Thank you for reading!!! : )
