Old Poems needing reviews!
A place for poems waiting for their tenth review!
Rated:

This item does not allow ratings.
At WDC we all receive these wonderful reviews! Unfortunately, they can be good, bad and occasionally even ugly. Many are helpful. By the time a poem has received it's tenth review, however, it becomes apparent whether it should be kept (or burnt).

The statistics here don't show up until the 10th rating either and that is helpful in determining audience.

Since I am eclectic in my writing and interests, the audience for a particular poem may be very specific and who-likes-it/who-doesn't a helpful tool to decide where the poem needs to go.

So heaps of thanks to those who are kind enough to review these sketches.
