Concerning the big discussion on this net group about the value of poems and (related) the value of critics/criticism etcetera... I feel that poetry, perhaps more than any other form of writing, is a vehicle for expressing emotions, and that, as such, it is a very touchy situation to criticise it. I don't. What I do is send positive mail to authors of poems that I enjoy..and (for the most part) the same has been done for my submissions to this group. It seems reasonable to me... Anyway...
