What forum do you use?

mild seems best, more open to variety even; prophet erthona spanked my praise poem in serious and that was the end of comments; i guess what one wants to be considered serious may not be taken so seriously if it doesn't meet the demands of the pen audience, which seems to value lyric most.

I don't know if I'd agree with that Kole. I don't think there's any fixed preference in serious. If anything, I think your sample size is too small to draw that conclusion. I'd stick my toe in the water a bit more before writing off serious.

Just a thought,

Todd
