Well you might notice I wasn't being so serious on my critic after all.

In the future I would suggest if you wish people to not mistake your poem for being serious, you should write a poem that actually has humor in it. It also might help to not take backward and non-specific swipes at the people who probably spent considerable time giving you their critique. All of us who have been around awhile have realized that there is a direct correlation between how one treats those who critique one's poem and the quality of critiques (if any) one gets. Giving insults and being dismissive of the critiques and those who write them will have an extremely negative effect on you ability to improve, as it is difficult to do so when no is commenting on your poetry.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
