In the real world, those kind of people are called 'brainless sycophants'.

Unfortuantely for you, you are incorrect. You don't need to paint a portrait of words worthy of a thesaurus, but you do need to explain yourself and describe a poem/prose/picture better than 'nice', 'good' or 'I like it'. I'd rather eat cardboard than read the words of a dullard.
Obviously, you are very young, but as you grow-up you will find that people with empty platitudes are easily ignored.
Syophants - and those who tolerate them - are the scourge of the world.

How young do you think I am exactly??

Yeah it's true anyone can put a string of words together, but on the tongues of many, these words sound false and practised...
Huh?

Krunk, you really needn't put people down all the time, it's getting monotonous.I agree that words such as 'it's nice' or 'I like it' leave a lot to be desired but is it really up to you to change the world?
Give it up honey, it's a total waste of effort and time... write some more poetry instead 😄

whether or not this forum serves any purpose, one can hope and that it not become some other place to come to in order to chat and talk about stuff not pertaining to poetry however bland the vast majority are(poetry).
I don't post my poetry very often, because I don't write very often -- I won't pretend that I'm that great at it, because it obviously isn't where my creative talents are the strongest (that would be visual arts). But I do like to occasionally post a poem that I've written. Everything I write is personal, though, and I write it for ME and frankly I don't care what anyone else thinks. If people like it, fine. If they don't, that's also fine. I don't expect everyone to like my poems.

Yo, it ain't like dat, m'lady. It's mo' of a case of tryin' to incite some riotin' in the current poetry going on around here. We need beautiful, mad, furious poetry, not dull, inspid, literary plodding.
If you write something like this:
Life? What? Who are you? Hello?
Death? When? Where are you? Goodbye?
or:
Why is life so cruel? I really hate my school!
Everyone thinks I'm such a fool,
Just because my mouth is full of drool.
...And then are told, "Wow! You're amazing! I think you should be published!", do you think that the person who receives such an accolade will feel the need to drastically get some originality, or will carry on plodding?
The floor is yours..
Hey, I gotta weigh in now... hahah sorry Lady Sy.
Krunk, or OLBH, as you are actin, get over yourself and off your high and f#@king mighty horse. You wanna talk sychophants?
How 'bout the folks that follow in the footsteps of others with the constant ridicule and warmongery, as you yourself have said:"a case of tryin' to incite some riotin' in the current poetry going on around here. We need beautiful, mad, furious poetry, not dull, inspid, literary plodding."
Guess what bub? That is your opinion, and opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. You don't like something? GOOD! That means you are forging your own path. Let others do the same. You don't have to let someone know that you think they are imbecilic pachydermical offal to let em know you didnt like their poem. You just gotta say "Hey, not that great man" and then without using lofty syntax let 'em know WHY. There is absolutely no need to be a dick. None. If you can talk as well as you type, and understand it, then you should have the mental faculty to express yourself reasonably, not as a raving p'tagh with no worries on someone else's heart. You have the right to expression, true, but so do the rest of us. Just try to be more human, less schweinhund, ok?

My dear daydreamingworrier, you seem to fail to feel the folly of your floundering. Telling me to state my opinion in a way that is in acquiescence with your own limited view of 'correctness' is as repungent to me as my own must be to yourself. Therefore, remove the rake from your rectum and return to your rabble of refuse reciters.
As you weren't.
For the life of me, I cannot understand the animosity prevalent on this forum. Even to where I am a member of another site, this much hostility is not seen in THAT poetry forum. Hence the way I've reviewed a few on here.
As I've always believed, this forum does serve its purpose in allowing members to post their works. And I am a firm believer in that whatever work you post is and always be the inner part of you that you've revealed for others to see. And although this forum is rife with proses on love, angst, and some suicidal tendencies. It is, a revelation to their inner selves.
It is however in the way it is painted that some have come to sounding close to being cookie-cutter pieces. And yes, it can be bland at times, for I've come to realise that many on here have yet tasted life and to fully mature in themselves to express what they wish to express in a way that is...how shall I put it...not trite?
But one cannot learn to walk without first learning how to crawl. But in crawling, one must show the way to walking. If all one ever do is say: you're doing great at crawling, look at you you'll be speeding along in no time. Then when the time comes to walk and fail at its first attempt, should you say: hey you did great! would you help that person to attempt at walking again? or keep saying: hey you did great? and not teach?
Okay...odd metaphor. But the gist of it is. If all you say is: awesome stuff! Then they'll think their piece is awesome if rife with blunders and/or errors.
And while there is no right or wrong way to poetry as it is in art. There is such a thing as maturing IN your art beyond sophomoric efforts.
I hope to God this made sense.
