Bring it
I'll probably get a lot of down votes for this one but hopefully lots of comments too which as you shall see is precisely the point.
If you don't like something of mine
that's fine.
But don't down vote
without leaving a note
about what I wrote.
Don't be a coward.
--
You might not like what I have to say
but I'll probably say it anyway
because what I say comes from the heart
even if it's just a start.
Don't be a coward.
--
Talk to me.
Feel free to disagree.
But not engaging is enraging.
So go ahead and down vote,
just please be kind and leave that note.
Don't be a coward.

I think the constant use of ‘don’t be a coward’ is very effective here. I also am in love with the rhyme of ‘engaging and enraging’ and so I think that other rhymes in this poem could be improved. ‘Note and Vote’ for example are very common rhymes and although they flow very well they don’t make the lines stick out at rememberable. The critiques are very slim though as I think this is an all round great poem! Keep it up!
Thanks for engaging.
Also agree with your critique. Will see what I can do to improve.
