"to read how good someones poem was" upon reading it good wasn't my description of it. normally if i can't say something good about a poem i try to pass over it. usually i can always pick one or two things out which are good that soften the blow of any constructive feedback. but with this one it wasn't possible so i did an extreme in depth critique which was brutally honest. it was the only time i've ever done such a thing.How did the person respond?
it was something i'd expect from a low I.Q,'d village idiot with additional brain damage. weird thing was he'd got lots of praise for it being punchy and down to earth gritty etc. i just saw it as a bag of shite and explained to the poet why that was., i was asked to read another one then and see what i thought about that, needless to say it was the same but i didn't reply.
