A flip of the coin

does not determine whether a reader reads. here are a few suggestions.

1st avoid more than two submissions, on a day like today most will avoid the multiple's

2nd go though the other poems, you will see what I mean, start by reading the comments before you read the poem. leave some comments.

3rd ruthlessly edit; what is the point of the poem, cut what doesn't support, cut some of the side trips, most important cut anything that sounds like you heard it before (it's a cliche)

4th the first two lines are very important, a good rule of thumb, is that they should be two of your best.

Are we beginning to see a problem? I scored a 4, I scanned it, you can take it one of two ways, you can resent it and retaliate, or take it as some good advice. The anon's won't be as nice or as generous.
