I well try to do this discretely. Only you would know why I Answer
in this way. On this site I have few personal relationships that have
not been long established. Frankly I don't know who is on the other side
of a poem. I critique often. I don't write for my own vanity nor do I
do it if it is unread. I like to know someone is reading or why do it.
Recently there were some who thought I had something against a fellow
poet. But in answer to your critique. He is not a friend or do I oppose
his right to his style of poetry. I only tried to inform the poet that
putting his work on mass times at once ran the rest of the poets quickly \
off the last hundred. If I put on a poem that I worked hard on and another
poet quickly posts fifteen of his own. Few of us go down the list we read
mostly the last posted. I notice now that has been corrected. So there is
no problem with this poet. If I have a problem with a poets critique I hit
ignore poet. Frankly I take for critique even those who might not like my
style of poetry. I learn from that. I write some poetry purposely to lighten
the day with my style of humor. I don't consider myself a renowned poet.
If someone is offended I just ask not to take it personally. It stifles
my style not to tease a little.Not get other poets involved. Some of them
have been longtime friends in poetry./dandy
