ENTRY 19: Response to the poem selection section

Actually, as a novice of poetry editor, I met with problem at the first turn of selecting the poems among a pile of works. Actually, everyone’s preference for a poem is different from others, and so do I. For myself, I don’t like the poem or other literal works with so much direct description of the internal emotion of the first person; that is to say to describe one’s internal feeling with sensational words. So in my own poem, I’d like to describe the things as a third person, which means to tell the story of others. But, it is just my preference, so I have to try to judge poems without this kind of bias and ask the advice of the group members. Also, as English is not our native language, so some choice of the words and the meaning will be confused. So the problem is, maybe what he/she wants to convey is very meaningful and understandable by me; however, it doesn’t mean he/she adopts the right word and can be perceived by everyone. Also, because most of the contributors are also the novice in the poetry, so most of the work is not mature; the meaning maybe confusing and the distribution of the poem is not proper.
