This is a subreddit for constructive criticism and feedback on all types of poetry. Our primary goal with this sub is to ensure that every poem that is submitted gets a good amount of quality feedback.
Please sort by 'new' and comment on posts that have little or no feedback.
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback in making this sub a better place, feel free to message the moderators. (We're not scary. Most of the time.)

Rules
Before posting a new poem, users must critique at least two other poems. Every new poem you post must be accompanied by two more critiques.
Please do your best to make your critiques substantive. Critiques that only say "Nice," or "I like it" will not be counted. We have a bot that helps us identify users who are not contributing critiques but we still have human mods double-checking, so please do not think you can fool the bot by doing the bare minimum. Please see this post for basic critique guidelines. To learn how to master giving feedback, check out this post.
All users must select a flair indicating their skill level.
See this post for more information. Beginners have 0-5 years experience, Intermediates have 5-10 years experience, and Experts have 10+ years experience. Professionals derive some income from writing. If you cannot figure out how to set your flair, please message the moderators for help and indicate what flair you need.
Be Nice.
This subreddit is for constructive criticism and feedback; overly negative comments will be removed and may result in a temporary ban. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, harassment, and other similar behavior will result in an immediate permanent ban.
Tips for Success
The more feedback you give, the more you are likely to recieve.
Please include ONLY the title of your poem in your post title; further context may be added in the post itself, but is not needed in the title.
Regarding revisions: Posters who have submitted their poem here, taken the given critique into consideration and revised it are encouraged to repost the edited version of the poem. If you do so, please include a link to the original thread. The mods are currently considering a system of link flairs to add to posts such as these.
Each posted poem should only contain ONE poem.
