I've been flamed a number of times for daring to give (at least what I deem to be) proper criticism on poetry written by furs.
Am I just completely wrong in suggesting that rhyming poets use tools like the thesaurus and the rhyming dictionary to diversify word choice? Seriously, if I think that your poem unredeemably sucks, I will say so. (I haven't needed to, and I don't expect that I ever will.)
I'm pretty sure that the issue is that too many aren't seeking criticism and implicitly assume that everyone realizes this.
