Gawd, I say a lot of the above but I never mean the snide, unkind subtexts. There are only so many ways of saying thank you.
The times I feel most vulnerable are when I admit that I like a poem. For some reason that isn't acceptable--or it is, only when at least one suggestion for an alteration accompanies it. That seems to be more "serious" than well-considered approval.
Adult poets can write better than any poet on the forum.
