Grades

Yeah, I was also confused about this when I first started here. I realised afterwards it meant that the poem is suitable for students in that grade. However I then discovered that students in that grade who are members here, tick that category when posting. The Admin should clarify this. X.

I wonder about this, myself. My guess would be they are saying the poem is suitable for 10th graders on-wards. May contain dark themes, perhaps? I doubt there's a grading system here as it would be called Beginners, Amateur, Keen Amateur, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master. Mind you, I don't like poetry graded at all as Art isn't about perfection and neither is poetry which comes from the soul. Its okay to revise using your mind to make lines fresher and less cliche but a poem doesn't grab me unless it stirs up my emotions.
