though i haven't improved much i was really shitty as a poet when i first began. i always defend my my poems and got slung off numerous sites. eventually i joined a site similar to this one. anything was allowed (very little censorship or moderation)
it was there i learned that i wasn't the great i am i thought i was. i learned almost everything i know from that site, the owner is dead now but he was excellent and to the point with his feedback. newbs were welcome and given help. like anywhere else they often left after posting a few poems and getting not so glowing feedback as to how good their shit was.
i think many go the poetry route because they'd fall at the first hurdle if they took up art.
