Excellent poetry selections in there today. I guess that critic did take the time to read your poetry and decide that your life must really suck! lol I think it's remarkable that you still have the poem you first wrote just out of grade school. I would have a hard time finding anything of mine from those days.
You're great at what you do, and are great at expressing emotions in words. Not something I've ever been very adept at doing myself!
Thank you so much. It was quite a few years out of grade school, but the first poem I ever put online. If it wasn't for the critics whatever would we talk about:)
