Of course most professional crits involve phrases like, "this seems to imply...etc...", but with internet poets it can be as simple as saying " this missing comma makes me wonder if nuzzle jazz is meant to modify the statue..."
I don't think anyone is providing or expecting professional crit on this site. You are reminding me that I still like that line. Perhaps I should keep it after all or at least build a different poem around it.
