I was hoping that the bears might have provided us humans with better role models than this sorry example. Well-written.
I don't like the extreme mixture of human and animal qualities the bears have. It feels like a very partial metaphor. It's no the Trees, but it's not bad either.
The point is the extreme polarization. Polar ... polarization. Just a play on words. It could have been butterflies or tyrannosaurus rexes.
No, I wasn't. I don't think the bears human analogy works too well. The way she switches back and forth between human and bear features all the time just doesn't work for me and gives the poem a very amateur feel.
We are not "even". It is incumbent on you, in your halting attempts to write a criticism of another's works, to display at least some miniscule shred of comprehension of them. You, however, somehow managed to miss the point of the piece entirely.
Duck just always likes to be "right". He certainly fits into your poem very nicely! I enjoyed it, great job.
There's nothing to be right or wrong about. It's all opinion. I didn't like the way the symbolism was used and she was being a prick about my critique because it wasn't just praise. She sure seems to think it was.
