I would like to think I had something to do with this (the posting of the poem, not the poem itself, of course.) Or more likely it was a case ...

I am unqualified to truly critique this, I must say. Whenever I critique poetry I feel inadequate, the fool choking down popcorn at the theatre, or the kids in black ...

Want more points? Write more reviews, but don't write them for the points, write them because you will grow as a writer. Writing reviews trains your eyes to spot errors, ...

I will be careful with this. I am eager to critique it, but the stock templates (regarding show don't tell , cliches, extraneous observations) won't do. This is damn good. ...
