How to critique

[Gerryswo]

So, do I just click on a given poem and then select the REPLY button to submit a critique?

If you click on the little reply button at the bottom border of the posted poem, it will quote the poem, so you can make annotations next to the text of the poem, or write comments below it.

If you click on the big New Reply button, you don't get the poem quoted, but can type in you comments in there about the poem.

You can then post it, preview it (as Tiger mentioned) and then post it, or even save a draft if you want to go back to it later.

There's a learning curve as with anything else.  If you post something you didn't intend to, I believe the moderators can delete it for you if you ask.

Hope this helps.

P.S.  I see you've already posted one, so this is probably redundant......

Very helpful thankyou.

On a similar subject: When I make changes to a poem based on critiques do I just overwrite the original poem or submit it anew?
