they don't need to know that "it is absolute shit," but yes agreed, you should tell them exactly what you think is wrong, don't sugarcoat. again, i see this forum as more for mentoring than actual critiquing, yes you do analyse poems, but people come here to get help with their writing. imo, a good teacher won't offend the student.
how close is your writing to your ideas? how close are you ideas to who 'you' are? no matter how many times you tell yourself "the poem is not the poet," you won't stop your emotions, all your doing is putting on a front.
