My excuse is, I haven't been critiquing enough.  But I hear you, will try to do better. 

Same here, Duke- no need to blush. I think creating more options might break the cycle, where we might have lots to comment on and therefore feel more comfortable going forward with our own. Most times I feel like I've only put in 80% effort on a poem and while I want to share it with everyone, it just doesn't feel right to ask others to spend time and energy on it. Other times, I just want to poke fun at some story in politics or pop culture and choose to do it in verse, completely unpolished. There's plenty of reasons to get poetic and have dialogue outside of the workshop forums. I really think a little tweak will get us trending in the other direction just by us all being aware of it. 
Cheers for the response.
