The prose explores the complexities of feedback in the realm of poetry and the emotional toll it can take on a poet. The speaker reflects on the duality of criticism—how it can be both constructive and destructive, and how insincere compliments can mask negative sentiments. The poem advocates for kindness and understanding in the poetic community, emphasizing the importance of supportive interactions among poets to foster creativity and emotional well-being. The speaker writes to advocate for a more compassionate approach to giving feedback, encouraging poets to support one another and build a nurturing community that fosters creativity rather than discouragement. The call to action aims to inspire reflection and change in how feedback is delivered and received among poets.

Beneath brittle words,
roses linger, inked in dusk—
soft rains breathe them red.

Yeah, its alright. Well-said and all. I like it. Some solid arguments. Some interesting stylistic choices. All in all, it is a prose.

(In all seriousness tho, very well said and I could not agree with you more. I hope you find the irony in my previous message. Spread the message!)
