This is a great guide to also helping the reader understand the poem in general @moeknows. All of Step 5 offers insight into what a poem should do for the reader and Step 2 is important for any art. I know that I myself hate getting bland comments like Great Job or I Liked It. The more critical the comment - be it positive or negative, the better my chances of improving and excelling in my writing. Resteeming this. Thanks for putting it out there.
You are welcome @japhofin8or. It's not easy, and readers are taking a risk by putting thought into it. The only thing I can suggest is replying something like. "Thank you. What did you like about it?" or something like that. Thanks for the resteem!
