As a Newbie ..... I have made my very first comment today on someone's poem, I have to admit that I didn't find it easy! It's not that I am unable to express an opinion on an individuals written's works, it's just that in my head, their poem expresses their thoughts, their emotion, how they feel and the way that they feel it, therefore it is written in that manner so me recommending how to change the format or the phraseology doesn't feel right. I think I need personally to first learn how to constructively encourage people whilst still expressing their own individuality in writing without pushing my own written style. If that makes sense. i think its a case of learning from those with more experience & am looking forward to doing so both in regards to this & how I write my own Poetry which can be a little haphazard at times!
