Hi there and welcome. Amateur is perfect -- we're not terribly professional Wink

Hope to see you jumping in and getting dirty.
PS. Please do tread on toes, that's how people learn as poets and as critics. Nobody should take offense to thoughtful criticism and suggestions.

Hi

I go by UnclePedro. I'm looking for a site where I can get feedback for poems that I've written, I usually produce anywhere from 3-10 poems a month, which I'll be posting on here and of course leaving feedback on other poems as well

Hullo!

You have landed in the right place. I see you have already got stuck in, with some careful suggestions and insights. The Pig (in which I don't have shares) really does work on the basis of honest criticism, and not 'scratch your eyes out' ad hominem. Idiots are given the boot quick sharp. There is room for discussion in the forums and 'the Pig's Arse' , but most importantly, there are some really fine poets by any standards, and critics too. I hope you do find that it suits you, and stay. Smile

Hi Chance, welcome to the site. I understand barbecue is important to people. If you want to impress a grill I suggest keeping its cooking surfaces shining like the sun.

I have heard bringing a spectacular artichoke guacamole will impress a grill but I cannot verify that.
