Nice comment, Aurora!
Seriously -
I read your poetry at magnapoets and at the long wooing. I found it interesting, which is the highest compliment I can give anyone. I'm certainly no authority... I'm an amateur obsessed with the single metaphor.
I you wish in-depth critique, I'd be happy to give it via email.

I don't know about doubt, Aurora, but I'm certain your blog's design could be better. White text on black backgrounds may look sexy to the young, but to those of us at sixty or better, it's a pain in the eyes that keeps us from reading what you've written. There are website design rules that are as old as Mosaic, you break a bunch of 'em.
It's about getting people to read all the way to the last line. And readers are a lazy bunch who'll take any excuse to abandon a poem early.
my opinion only.

For myself, I check to see if there's a measurable improvement between the poetry I'm writing now and the poetry I wrote six months ago - but I'm still developing a style.
Right now I'm focused on global metaphors and relational imagery. I hope I'll be somewhere farther along in half a year. I hope I'm always somewhere farther along.
