I honestly have never been any good at critique.
I don't know how..
I know what I like, and what I don't.
So, that's all I feel I can speak on..
I'm not a traditional poet,
And definitely don't understand what defines a "decent critique"..
So if you may help me define that, maybe I can offer better critique..

I know how you feel. I suggest doing some reading on this site. Read the entire thread: poem, critiques and how the poet chose to make or not make changes.

It's really very interesting, and it helped me to give enough of a critique to participate here. My suggestions may not be too good, but the poet is free to ignore them, and it's nice to get different points of view.
