if thats what a poet wants to do. i put a poem up that i think is okay. unless it's for example.
i have no problem a poem going up that needs lot's of work if the poet actually listens to advice and uses some of it.
if it's just a not so well thought out poem and the person is fairly new to poetry and the site then i'd suggest the mild critique forum.
work-shopping old poetry can be a good way to show newbs how to take advice. and can also give a few pointers as to how to think about what they write. jmo sadly i've put all my really bad stuff up after doing an edit of it, it's not much better but it's not utter rubbish any more
