Yes, there is a need to mention snow. I see you tried to correct it and I thank you for that, but please don't change the whole poem, which you did. I do not apreciate that.
hi Lizzy. thanks for the opportunity to talk about feedback:
When a person gives feedback or makes a suggestion as to what to changes they think should be made etc, even if they re-write the whole poem. etiquette dictates that the recipient answers in one of 4 ways.
- Simply says thank you with the intent to use or discard any advice given.
- Replies to any question put forward, and say thank you with the intent to use or discard any advice given.
- Say thank you and ask a question on points of the feedback you're unsure of.
- Say thank you and lightly discuss the points raised if you want the critic to expound on them
- Ignores any feedback given by not responding to the reply.
- * Explanations on or about the poem should only be given as a footnote under the body of the poem, or in response to a question etc.
* Disagreement with the person giving feedback should not be voiced other than by ignoring it. This is because it's merely an opinion and not an order or instruction.
* Remember that if you respond to the works of others, you will more often than not get responses to your own works in return.
* Always be gracious and honest in giving feedback.
* Always be gracious in the acceptance of feedback, Someone has gone to the trouble of reading and responding to your work, no matter how much you may disagree with it.
- * Explanations on or about the poem should only be given as a footnote under the body of the poem, or in response to a question etc.
