Spent years writing on poetry workshop sites.
I get the critique part.
I know it is for development of the craft.
I notice, also, there is a need of the readers for rhyming. And rhythm (not a great need for spelling).
And length. Lotsa requests for more length.
Mind you, nobody’s payin’ for these service add ons.
What mystifies me is why a man plopping his guts in a recognizeable pile at the public’s feet isn’t ever nearly enough entertainment.
I have been told that bards tend to be a whiney sort.
Perhaps I’ve achieved some growth.
