i'm not one of the better critics on the site. i do like my own work being critiqued, [harsh or kind]
i look for things i can make sense of, many poems escape me in which case i say so. i like a poem that's original while enticing a poem that invites me in with a solid opening and keeps my eyes nailed to the text. i think critique is either objective/subjective and any mix in between. i'm not always able to be objective but sometimes it can be easy. i just spelled retched as wretched in the last poem i did pointing that out to me was being objective. many times we can be objective as to if a poem is a well written one, that said i'm more objective with my feedback. i also learn from the feedback i give, after reading all the feedback i can gauge to some extent if mine was good or not, it's a self help method, without it i'd be a lot worse at giving feedback than i am.
