Hey folks, please remember that each forum requires a different level of feedback.
The labels on the forums don't refer to the quality of the poem posted but to the quality of the critique that is expected.
If you wish to critique in the mild to moderate forum, you must actually offer mild to moderate critique.
"If possible leave a couple of points in the body of the poem, as well as a comment outside the body of the poem. Ensure that it provides valuable feedback to the poet, even if it's all positive. A simple "I like this" is not appropriate for serious critique. Please comment to the best of your ability.
All posts should be directly related to criticism/analysis/improvement of the original post, the poem. From time to time it is expected that a discussion will arise from a point made in a comment. If it becomes apparent that comments are addressing other comments rather than the original post, a moderator will either move these posts to a new discussion thread in Poetry Discussion -- or for more robust discussion, to The Pig's Arse -- or, if necessary, the moderator will ask that further comments cease altogether. If, as the originator of a thread, you feel that your poem has been "hijacked" or that discussion has moved in a direction you are uncomfortable with, please send a PM to one of the moderators of this forum. It is not appropriate to engage in argument in a Critique forum."
Please read the guidelines and expectations of each forum before you post in that forum. If you aren't sure what the correct level of critique looks like, then take some time to browse through past critiques.
Posts with insufficient critique will either receive a red-letter notification, or will be deleted.
Thank you for your cooperation!
