Wow intense emotion expressed, not to say that I havnt felt the same way multiple times! I love the way you keep rewriting slightly differently "you critic" for it almost feels as if your revising the workas you go along. Great poem, intense immagery of a man with a haughty look crossing through lines that don't suit his fancy.
Keep Writing!

I love this poem. I read it in my head, so I may be wrong, but it sounded like it had nice rythem. (I feel like I murdered that word. :/)

Anyway, I also like that you got more than just a few lines out. I tend to only get four, then curl up and die.

This peom really speaks to the critic in me. :)

Wow, that's the most accurate description I've seen of the writing process. Not that I'm an expert, but still, this one hits home.

Amazing. So good and so true. Every writer is their own worst critic, and I love how you put it and describe it. Really amazing poetry.

Amazingly written. The jerky flow works quite well in fact, especially the hybrid you've wrought with the rhyming section in between. It's difficult to get such a balance, but you've done it extremely well. The only thing I can point out is, in your first stanza: "And you rut,/ And for what?" - I think that last "and" is a little redundant. I'd put an ellipses or a hyphen after the "rut" and then just have "For what?" as the following line. "and" takes a little sliver of focus away.

It's funny. I normally say nicely written, but this deserves better than that.

Also, another thing: "To damn and condemn," - do you need a comma there?

Sums up the whole "everyone's their own worst critic" quite nicely. Looking forward to more work from you...and back too.

I really liked this, different from a lot of the stuff I see on here. Nice work
