Are you a good judge of your poetry

[Leanne]

Short answer, Todd: no.

I pretty much despise everything I write, but I've managed to train myself to a point where I can at least accept that not everyone agrees with me about that. Still, sometimes I'm shocked by what people actually think is decent -- and fairly often, I'm confused when something I think might not be utter crap turns out to be, in fact, utter garbage in the minds of the discerning public
