    Ok so I am realy new to this site, and my poems arent being read much. I've been trying to attention broght to my poems, but it isn't working to well. I am also looking for a lot of critism, and all I'm getting is 5/5 and "i love it". Nothing that is going to help me inprove. Is this something that i should be exspected to get? I'm very confused about somethings. Is there any sites that you know of that I could post at that are lagit, and where i will get good critism? Or am I on the right site, just not going about it right?

    OK, firstly, this site is an excellent one to use. Many people here give very helpul constructive criticism, which I presume is what you really want.
    Secondly, I would suggest that you enter into a lot of discussions, the sensible ones, not the "oooh look I have another new game or you to try" ones, because the people who give the best advice are usually the one's who take the site most seriously.
    Finally, if you want more people to read your work then make sure you read other people's!

    Now I'm off to see what I think of your work! :P

    I hope I've helped. x

    yeah but in poetry there is no right or wrong grammar... a lot of people try to correct my style, the way I use punctation some times, and the why my lines are built... But i do that for a reason. Dose anyone else uses this type of device to help potay their message and feelings? it is new to me, but i find it a lot of fun. I can't do meater... but i have tried. I've tried so many styles... has anyone else done this? and who is JPM, remember i am new to this site....!

    you might tell it like it is, but it seems to me, based on your comment you have read very little poetry... have you ever had to dig for a meaning my dear? Have you ever read between the lines, poetry is ment to make you think. it is the only thing besides speeking that lets you breack every rule: grammar, punctuation, correct spelling in some cases, sentence structure, even words sometimes arent words. when you reed a poem, dont just exspect the poet to tell you. Because i do tell it like it is, however i make my reader think! I wish you would used your brain next time you read one of my poems. but i thank you for your honesty.
