comment thoughtfully

Hi All--


Be sure to post your poems/revisions here each week, and comment on at least two other writers' poems (more if possible), choosing different writers each week.

In your comments, try to  be thoughtful and specific, noting both what's working and what you think might need improvement--always looking to more precise imagery and detail, clarity and rhythm of language, word connotations and word sound, and away from general statement--though a poem can also include these. 

Consider posting a brief introduction or follow-up remark to your own poem, indicating what you are trying to accomplish, or what you think the poem is up to--this can help focus feed back.

 Also check here for announcements and other posts/comments.

As you send me your blog URLs, I will list them to the right; click on a blog to access it and leave comments.

Looking forward to those images and rhythms!

BTW--Please DO NOT comment on this post.
