First of all, I'd like to say this is a new account of mine.
Okay, I think we I am going about this all wrong.

Interesting ideas and concept. Could work, and in many instances wouldn't either. I generalize, but I believe most people are devoted to their own works to really involve themselves in another persons art. Not to mention I've noticed, that a lot of people are offended IF someone does critique something that said poet devoted a personal amount of time/effort and emotion into the piece(s) . -shrug- Just some thoughts regarding your own.
I know what you mean, P.H.O., in a city of seven million poets, how many have time for really listening to the poetry of others, particularly if it means wading through oceans of stuff that perhaps seems very mediocre? PoemHunter is a great site in many ways, just by allowing aspiring poets to showcase their works, but perhaps its sheer size can sometimes work against it, like a dinosaur... I recently discovered truml, a great site for poetry and other arts - again the poetry is often dodgy - I expect plenty of people would class my own stuff in that category. It's like the concept of karaoke - if you encourage people to make a noise in public, it's not always going to be a good noise. Anyway, why not check out truml.com? It's much smaller, so feels a lot 'friendlier' and easier to get critical discussion going. Hope you find what you're after.
