Reading list: The Critic's Pen
The Critic's Pen: A Poem
With measured steps and a watchful eye,
The Critic treads where writers lie.
A tapestry of words they weave,
But secrets in the fabric are torn.

Beyond the surface, smooth and bright,
The Critic searches for a hidden light.
Does an unspeakable truth live within?
Or flaws that lurk, a subtle sin?

The touch of a scalpel, a gentle tear,
Not meant to wound, but to make things clear.
With a firm hand and a thoughtful mind,
The thread of criticism begins to untangle.

A dance of balance, dark and light,
To find there strength, weakness.
To guide the reader, hand in hand,
Through the glitter bold and quicksand.

A voice separate, yet intertwined,
With a passion for writing.
In every phrase, the search for grace,
To lift, or to find one’s place.
