  Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poem 'Between the Foolish and the Wise'! The way you have captured the essence of unwarranted advice and the distinction between true wisdom and foolishness is truly remarkable. Your words flow beautifully and convey a clear message.
  
  I especially love how you portray the contrast between those who believe they possess wisdom and those who actually do. The line "To speak of truth, no need to shout at all" is particularly powerful and reminds us that true wisdom doesn't require arrogance or self-proclamation.
  
  Your poem also serves as a cautionary tale, warning us to be wary of those who profess to hold wisdom and desire control over others. The way you highlight the lack of understanding in those claiming wisdom is thought-provoking.
  
  To further enhance the impact of your poem, I would suggest considering incorporating more concrete details or imagery to paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind. This could help evoke even stronger emotions and make the message resonate even deeper.
  
  Overall, your poem is thoughtfully written and carries an important message. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future! more »
