If you would like critique, there is an area here in the forums just for that. I enjoy constructive criticism for my poetry. But, being human, I also love the praise. LOL. I look forward to reading your work. ~Paula

All forms of poetry are welcome, within the parameters set by Team Poetry Soup. No vulgar, etc. So, write from your heart and soul. Be it silly, of nature, introspection, whatever strikes your fancy. Don't forget to check out the contest area. It's fun, challenging and a great way to learn the different forms of poetry. ~Paula
