All Comments on 'sac-ora (the Art of verbal combat)'

on the new poems review thread.

Glad my public comments riled you up to anger enough to write a better than average poem. Of course, there is a world of difference between deliberately hurting/criticising another and honestly questioning structural/spelling/grammatical aspects of a poem. That is what I do with yours, because I do think you are open-minded enough to improve, or at least try to best realize your "Art".(sorry for the pun!)

When I look at my 550+ public comments, I realize it has been a long journey. Probably my typical "love letter" verbiage helps little, except to ego boost the authors. Guess I could have remained anonymous from the beginning, but we all learn from healthy verbal combat. Most of my thoughts are very encouraging and positive, I do tend to be much harder on poems because in my opinion, it's fatally easy to botch up a poem. Everyone hopefully strives to be better in their craft, and if you perceive in my comments a "verbal stink bomb" that incites you to more improved writing, than comrade, I shall bomb away!!

PS- Watch out for "two" and "too"! (BOOM!!)
