Winter Solstice

[Tiger the Lion]

I appreciate that. I’m guessing you’re not British though? As a British person would understand the first line without questioning the words warn or wrestle. Didn’t really think about that when writing it as maybe someone from the US wouldn’t question a way of speaking that’s understood to them, and it’s not something I’ll change as it’s deliberate and a part of how I write. I would say that a lot of the time people in the US can’t see past their own ways of doing things or their own culture to the point of rejecting something to suit themselves rather than walking in the shoes and enjoy accepting it in others, I don’t mean that as an offensive thing there’s the evidence. It’s on me for posting in an American forum though in all fairness. However, I’ll rethink the delivery overall. Totally agree about the capitals, that’s an error. Really appreciate the feedback, thank you.

You guessed wrong more than once. This was never a U.S. based site and I am a Canadian from Liverpool.

Do I get a prize for being wrong twice? Guess I just have to accept my poem is just naff then    If in doubt, blame the US

I think "naff" would be a defeatist view of the poem considering the comments above. I'm reading a good mix of kudos and crit. The "intensive critique" is meant to inspire "workshopping." It's the nature of the forum. (see forum name)
And no one gets prizes for being wrong. I for one would require a storage unit to house them.
