Yes, more seriously, inamuddle, you need a tough skin to come on here and ABers will let you know what they like and don't and they can be pretty direct about it. Personally, I wouldn't take too much angst aboard but sometimes there are valid points to think about in the criticism. Much more traditional poetry and imagery tends to go down better than the ephemeral, disjointed, conceptual thoughts. However, even then, ABers enjoyed haikus when we had a run on those.
There are some that can't stand poetry, period; be thankful three of them are serving time at the Ed's expense as they would have likely chewed you up and then spat you out.
Watch your spelling and grammar in your verse, if you are going to write - however, we all make the occasional mistake.
