So the crits wouldn't be crits as much fresh directions or angles on how to fix a poem on life support.
Or could a person just add a disclaimer when posting a poem.

I thought that's what our current workshop forums were were for. If I wasn't stuck and wondering what to do, I wouldn't post. I mean, yeah, there are degrees of "stuck." Sometimes I feel finished, but I have worked a thing so long I need "objective" eyes look it over. But just as often I have a piece that just feels like a mess but I feel like there might be something in it somewhere, so I put up the latest draft and see what happens. In both cases the results have never failed to be helpful. Gee...I guess I may be using the forms incorrectly sometimes...?
