From the Critter
Apologies for coming to this one so late = I couldn't understand the poem until I read the other crits.
This is too good to drop down the Board so quickly = I hope you realize you owe me one.
And From the Poet
I will keep your comments in mind for the rewrite = Actually, I believe it's perfect as is.
Constructive criticism only, please = if anybody says anything bad about my poem, I will whine for a week.
Elitist attitude = critique that points out problems with grammar, syntax, spelling and punctuation
Fair and thoughtful critique = pat on the back
That's intriguing, and I want to think about it for a while = I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about, and I suspect you're a crackpot; but on the chance that others may agree with you, I'll stall for a while and see what they say, and maybe I can figure it out then.
Thank you for commenting = Screw you!
