seems a little lacking in class for people to slam the work of others without putting their name to their opinions. what's the worst that can happen? someone disagrees with you?

and there's the rub. if they wish their comments to be taken seriously, it is better to speak out as their true id and to offer something constructive. otherwise most people do exactly this - discount them; sometimes this is a shame because it means a valid point might gets missed entirely. that's why i do think about any anonymous comments i receive, and then discount those i find to be of a personal nature or not valid. having said that, i have received some helpful advice by various anons that has helped me look with fresh eyes and a different perspective. either way, an anonymous comment can have its uses - if only to illustrate to us how pathetic some of our intended audience are
if you give a performance, there'll always be a heckler somewhere shouting from the relative anonymity of the darkened stalls 
maybe, and maybe their sole intention is to get under the skins of those less confident in themselves and more susceptible to nasty comments. seriously, i never allow that particular brand of stupidity to get to me - especially when it comes in long and rambling feedback e-mails
some people out there will get a kick from targeting someone they know is easily hurt - don't give them the satisfaction of reacting to their barbs, annie

duplication of effort.
last poem mentioned wasI actually read every single poem that was up when I did it. These are new. Damn. I am not in the mood for this.
sorry, didn't think of you shirking, just trying to cut down on the agro on both our parts. i.e. saving one or both of us some work.Done. I am not active here at the moment because I am having a depressive epsiode and I cannot judge things as fairly as I would like. I am not shirking my duties, I am just slower than usual. Reviewing under the influence of antipsychotics is not a good move.

careful with this VR, there may be more than one anon. some may be less than flattering about the poem, but the comment is about the poem. And some are just assholes.
well, you're welcome, and some people get upset when I leave puns for comments.vrosej10 thank you for your encouraging words.
maria thank you for your kind words.
twelveoone thank you for the mention and the ending is not needed! I realize that now..
greenmountaineer I was trying to show through words, breaks his quick energetic flo... I am thinking the last two lines in the first stanza should start the second stanza...
