I saw one of your comments Amy on capitalizing the first word of a line, and I'm with you. To me that is purely a writer's choice and has no impact for me on the value or read of a poem. There are other opinions on that, but isn't that true of everything.
I wouldn't worry too much about it Amy. You have a smooth style. You can only go with who you are and how you write and build from that.
As far as the poems that go unnoticed. Yeah, it can be for a lot of reasons. For me, a lack of comment usually is a sign that I'm not sure what to suggest. I suspect that's a lot of people.
Not making excuses for it, just probably a lot of factors. I think your encouragement to speak up though is a good one.
