Well, I think if someone criticizes another person who opens himself up to critique using such vague and useless terms then the critic should show, in one form or another, what he thinks is wrong with the offering, and how the critic's idea of poetry finds its expression.

Everyone's a Monday-morning quarterback. It takes skill to perform.

I'm not confusing "good" poetry with technical prowess, either. My opinion on art is that if it moves the reader/viewer/listener to feel the emotions the artist felt at the moment of creation, then the work is a success on that level. Judging art on technical criteria is like judging a piece of machinery on its beauty.
