What’s wrong with poetry?

[Leanne]

Giving critique is a craft in itself. There are times when my mind just blanks out whenever I want to give feedback. Sometimes it lasts for a few hours, sometimes days.

I can't always manage it. In-depth critique of the kind that's needed in Serious, which is honestly my favourite kind, can be exhausting. Frankly, I think we're lucky to have anyone do it at all. At a sitting, it might take me half an hour or more for a single critique -- but in reality, I'll read the poem several times before I even attempt it, sometimes over days or even weeks.

Like I said before, there are other forums to post in. Please, if you really don't want serious critique and have no intention of listening to what's being said, just post in a different place.
