Hmmm, interesting.  Where is the aha! moment?  Or the irony?  The ku needs to strike me.  This one seems bland almost.  Is it a lashing out in some way, a response to a reviewer that might of been vague or cruel?  I feel that if you retooled the second line, you could have a great aha! moment that packs alot of punch.  Let me know if you decide to rewrite, would love to see it.

I agree.
Very well written and I admire the subject.

Interesting.  The first letters spell “CAT”, but that doesn’t seem to be relevant.  The first line functions almost as a title for the next two, which constitute a pretty good aphorism.  This is an unusual way to write senryu!  In fact, I think making this a quote might be more effective than this form, but of course it’s subjective.  :)  I like it!

A poem about poets
The beholders eye

First line doesn’t link right to the rest of the piece.

“all” is an unnecceary word – a syllable killer.

“to” is as well.

THe last line is way too subjective and therefore weakens your piece.

I think it`s too abstract (subjective) to be a haiku.

Greetings

The senryu works fine the way it is. The first line adds little though.
It is almost as meaningful written as

To those who matter.
All poets are subjective

You might add another line which would reinforce the self evidence of your statement and go along whith traditional form such as

To those who matter.
All poets are subjective
Snow falls in winter

I am sure you could find a line as good or better. Just a thought to use or discard at your whim.

Truth is always interesting when phrases so effectively.  I like it.

Your poem is good.  Very short but okay for haiku.  Poetry should be longer in my opinion but that’s me.  You have a craft and talent for writing.  How you just convey your message about poets so swiftly.  Its great.  We are .viewed subjectively because poetry is a part of the specific writer creating it.  The first two lines make sense.  But the last one is very questionable.  Poets are subjective to those who matter.  Thats your view and I respect that.  You keep writing
