Get the PFFA mug.
PFFA
The worst poetry site out there. Many teenage hopefuls come to get some criticism, but then get torn apart like an autistic kid at a MENSA convention. They frequently personally insult the writers themselves in their criticism of the poem. For them, "poetic license" is just an excuse for laziness. Their idea of a cliche is something that was written about once five-hundred years ago in Romania. If you're a sadist, it's perfect. If you want some real literary criticism, stay away from these forty-something balding nerds. If they criticized you, don't worry about it. They hate everyone but themselves. You're probably actually pretty good.
Average criticism:
Standard-issue beginner's self-indulgent, self-immersed prose journal-entry writing loaded with ungrounded and therefore meaningless abstractions and 31 first-person singular pronouns which makes clear that the real subject is you, a subject frankly devoid of interest. Why should anyone care about the interacracies (?/sic) of your naval when they can read someone else's wonderful poetry? Also, why do the lines have little to do with one another? (maybe because it's a DYNAMIC POEM, JACKASS?)
Example:
My poem got bashed at the PFFA, but so did everyone else's.

Fleg
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.
The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.
The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
