[Yves S L]

Hello N. Matheson.

Is this woman hating? I imagine you are civil to women in your life., which is the most important thing. Well, the verse exists within the self-enclosed world of insults/disparagement/back-handed-praise, which is generally not the most positive place in the whole wide world. I myself did not know what to comment about this, because I don't how it could be improved much. After all, it is not imitation that sounds immediately and distinctly off, but I have not immersed myself in that time period of verse, so I am not exactly expert. It is better imitation than what I am used to hearing where people are just making obvious mistakes all over the place and creating a mish-mash sound that does not sit easily in any time period but only in the imagination of the author.

Hopefully, I will have something more useful to say on your other poems.

Addendum: In the current political climate, things like woman disparaging a man would actually be okay, and not labelled misandry.
