A tribute to critics!

There goes the critic,
Praising the painting
For the cut of the canvas;
Worshipping the word
For the synergy of the syntax;
Marvelling at the music
For the suit of the singer.
Seeing the surface
But seldom the substance.

Loved this poem… a call to attention in the midst of superficiality

Thoughtful and alliterative. Pity he can’t spell “canvass”!

Thoughtful, alliterative and clever. Pleased to see he can spell “canvas”!
