10 poems I loved to read part: I

=Nielso:iconNielso: reports, December 6
Because there are so many poems submitted in one day and so many that aren't been read. I've placed some here that deserve it. I know that there are more poems that do but these are to start with. It took me a long time to read them all and sorting them out.
These are the first 10.
I'll try to do this every week/month if possible.
I hope you like them.

Greets,
Nielso

No-Bullshit Poetry Criticism

`imperfect:iconimperfect: reports, November 6, 2006
If you want blunt, honest, and pertinent criticism on your poetry this project is for you. However, think carefully before you apply.

^PoeticWar and ^imperfect are offering you the chance to receive No-Bullshit Criticism on your poetry for a 12 hour period.

From Midnight GMT Friday 10th November to Midday GMT Saturday 11th November you are invited to email one poem for criticism to poetry@deviantart.com. ^PoeticWar and ^imperfect will critique the poems received during the following 12 hours and post a news article on Sunday 12th November showing only the poems and the criticism.

The criticism will be no-holds-barred blunt, unsoftened critique. It is being offered on the understanding that the poet is aware of this, and is expecting it, and we will not enter into debate about our critique. It will be up to you, the poet, to take from the criticism what you need. Although we do hope the news article will prompt discussion and debate between poets.

In Summary

:bulletblue:Email one poem to poetry@deviantart.com between Midnight GMT Friday 10th November and Midday GMT Saturday 11th November.
:bulletblue:No emails received before or after this time will be considered.
:bulletblue:^PoeticWar and ^imperfect will post the poems and criticism in a news article sometime on Sunday 12th November.
:bulletblue:You should expect the criticism to be candid, blunt and no-bullshit.

G'day

This isn't in response to me whingeing last night in the forum is it? Sounds absolutely fantastic but can someone please tell me what time that will be "Melbourne, Australia time" (or tell me what city GMT is so I can check it out myself?)

Yours in Sanity!

I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really particularly effective. Interesting rhythmic devices too, which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the humanity of the poet's compassionate soul...

Critiquing someone's prose or poetry is an awesome thing to do.
