look at it again with a critical eye. what would you extract/add? are there spots where the voice could be stronger? even if it's just one word, or one phrase, or one image, is there anywhere at all in the poem that you would suggest tackling in order to make this shine?
i don't come here for praise. i come here because i want to write better, plain and simple. and don't tell me you wouldn't change a thing.
thank you for the vote of confidence. now rip it apart and make it bleed.
while we don't expect anyone to rip another person's work apart we do hope that in the main feedback forums you give something that's more constructive.
this extract says it all;

views, specially from non mods as we all know how demanding the management are.
we do have members who widely contribute to the site without giving much feedback. what these contributors don't do is: leave one liners in the feedback forms. if a newb can show they contribute elsewhere i'm certainly open to upping their post count in order for them to post where they will.
post like the one at the top will be extinguished out of hand.
