I feel our critiques in general have become lacking. Brutality is unnecessary. However, we strive to groom poets here, not just give each other a quick pat on the back. I would like to point out we do have the ANTHOLOGIES board where no critique is required. A poem posted to the general boards is automatically subject to in-depth review.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. We want to provide feedback to the author that will be useful in understanding what works and what doesn't work in the poem.
2. Highlight something specific about the poem - a specific image, possibly an imaginative word choice. Be implicit. I do not want to see blanket statements such as "I really like it" or "This sucks".
3. If a part or all of the poem is unclear, ask the author what was meant. The author needs to know the audience is confused.
4. If you find something specific that you don't like, identify it and tell the author why you didn't like it. Pay attention to grammar, syntax, and diction.

Ummm, don't you mean "explicit"? Implicit is feeling it, explicit is seeing it...

Implicit: –adjective 1. implied, rather than expressly stated: implicit agreement. 2. unquestioning or unreserved; absolute: implicit trust; implicit obedience; implicit confidence. 3. potentially contained (usually followed by in ): to bring out the drama implicit in the occasion.
In other words, I don't want to see anyone faltering, using weakness in reviews. Such as "Um, maybe I could be wrong, and don't hate me for saying this, but I tried..." etc.
