Only one comment. Please do not post ANY of your efforts is the workshopping forum if you accept no critique and have no intention of workshopping.
mod.
I have poems with which I still tinker from 10 years ago. Poetry forums can disappear (and they have) in the time it may take me to make a revision. Some poems are slowly written and then edited quickly. Some poems are quickly written and slowly edited. And some are fast and some are slow. I also firmly believe that if you rush and edit your work after you read a bunch of comments you'll probably going to hack your poem to death.
I'm also very puzzled about "accept no critique". You might want to really think about what a workshop is really about. If I read comments and see nothing that benefits the poem, does that mean I "accept no critique"? If that is the case, then I will leave.
