I have been hard pressed for time, to be honest. But writing the poem today.
The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard, saying that one of them conforms to that standard more nearly than the other. C. S. Lewis

I'd like to participate. I can review up to three poems. But I don't read anything rate 16+, so I won't be able to review them.

I'd like to get review(s) on this poem...

May Poetry Exchange

Welcome to the May Poetry Exchange

Here are the poems you will be reviewing between Today and Saturday. Find your spoiler tag, and follow the links!

I will make an announcement of poems that still need a review on the 29th to put them up for grabs to all of the participants. I'd suggest finishing the reviews before Review Day is up so that you get the most bang for your buck, but that's just my idea. If you've already reviewed one of your poems for the exchange before I posted this because of review day, I can give you another poem, or you can just count that as reviewing it for the exchange and the review day. I tried to catch you early birds who've already reviewed some of the poems to make sure you didn't get caught trying to re-review a poem.

If any of you have any questions, we have a wonderful Knowledge Base full of poetry tips and even three (One, Two, Three) guides specifically on reviewing poetry. If that's not enough, I'm always available to answer questions, haggle to exchange poems, and take leave of absence notices.

-Aley

Nope, nothing at all. Nu uh
not me
I'm not making this long just for the sake of it
Nooope
Not like anyone else is going to look
wait, are you looking?
You should be looking at your own poems to review!

You have some too on this page somewhere,
right?

Why would you be here if you weren't in my exchange
IF YOU WEREN'T IN MY EXCHANGE AND YOU'RE HERE
YOU SHOULD BE uh
SHOULD BE PREPARING TO JOIN NEXT TIME

I'm thinking of making these things monthly ^.-

Having them start like the day before review day would be smarter though, instead of this whole, day with review day.

If someone wants to take every other month
and run exchanges with me, I'd love that.

If you're too busy to handle all four I can take "Love Poem No. 1" off your hands, or one of the others, aside from "Life Is Suffering" because it's mine.

I didn't review the last thing in the other one because I didn't really feel like that much changed to warrant another review. We can talk about it elsewhere if you want.

Assuredly I am done with this reviews. The reviews were terrible but u think that was more due to the quality of the work being reviewed. It was not easy being a bad poet and critiquing good poets. I give myself a virtual pay on the back for effort. Yay!
