Oh Nemo,
"Quit whining" is rather a cutting remark to make, unless it's
obviously said in jest; this is a 'conversation' here on "General Talk" and if we were all in a room together it wouldn't be very nice to say that to someone's face
Tim has put this thread here for information. He rightly says, "Having glanced through it I think it gives a fair impression of what's happening in the UK".
It's simply that some of us don't happen to like what's happening in the UK very much, that's all!
Maryann,
I do understand what you're getting at. No one is 'knocking' Tim or anyone else for writing free verse!! I'm more than willing to appreciate all kinds of poems. But it's a matter of fact that poems published in the UK
are biased towards FV.
One of my favourite poems of all-time is 'Naming of Parts', which doesn't rhyme, but I just think it would be nice if "The best" in all magazines catered for both camps. Why not have separate categories then? It's all POETRY, after all.
