I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Every day I strive to be a better poet.

I will never be a better poet by soliciting people to tell me my work is flawless. My assumption is that every other poet here desires the same type of interaction.

My assumption is, of course, flawed. So, instead of dealing with hurt feelings and the subsequent pouting, I only critique poems when I am asked to.

If you have a specific work you would like critiqued, let me know.

I'm only here to get better and offering and receiving honest critique is one of the tools I believe makes us better poets. If this is not your focus, no worries.

Thank you for all you do here, there are times when critique is needed, especially a general critique on works, not too harsh mind..
Some of my writing such as "Uluru" would benefit from your thoughts, I write quickly and most pieces are not good, just jottings of thoughts.
The odd one of my writings sorted would be a good thing for the rest I write, I do write a load of pieces and a summary of Theme, Style, and overall form would be good once in a while.
Thanks again for your input to Neopoet.
Yours Ian..
