Thanks, Billy. This is just an observation, not at all a complaint or anything like that. But I've frequented several poetry sites and each of them has their "thing", that which is prized above all else, and on here it is metre.
It's interesting, what gets praised as "proper poetry" on the various forums. I posted a poem on an American site recently where every poem was in the same style. All the contributors could have been the same person for all I know.

Before criticising a person, try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.....and you have their shoes.
