Discovering The Beauty Of Poetry: A Journey Of Appreciation

Every artist needs to be appreciated from time to time. Appreciation is a fuel to every artist. It not only boosts up an artist but also helps to keep the flame burning and the art real and alive.

It is a poem or the art work which is needed to be appreciated but not the poet himself. He'll be accredited for whatsoever appreciation his artwork is receiving. Appreciation is not that much needed for a true artist. He who appreciates a poetry or a literary work will be known a critic. A critic is not only the one who's telling only the negative side of an artwork. He'll also tell the positives. A real critic would be unbiased and would say both the pros and cons of a poetry or literary work.

A critic is someone and he/she is in No way connected to a poet but technically connected strongly to a poem. A poet will know his strengths and weakness only because of a critic.

All he does is he would do his duty correctly and when it has more of a negative sense, he becomes bad and he's seen and portrayed bad. Why a critic is very important in a poet's literary journey? It's because appreciation is given and taken by a critic. Everyone who comments on a poem becomes a critic automatically and the critic becomes a vital part in the literary growth of the poet.
