But you said

So technically you're practicing "shoot first ask later"..
By your own words you judged from the cover, so...
Literally admitting here, that you judge my topics from their titles.
I think you're too caught up in anti-theism, that you got your reason shaken.
Quote:Yes, your poem was all about emotive love and suffering. That doesn't mean it didn't suck (Thought it would be nice for you to know that).
Exactly, that is healthy criticism that should help me in building my skills.
It's why I thanked you for citing.
Exactly - I thought it was going to be a rant against transgender people. But this wasn't a judgment, it was an expectation (and one that I'm happy turned out to be wrong). If I'm in a bookshop and see the title, 'The History Of Wood Varnishes From 1820-1915', it's hardly a 'judging a book by its cover' to expect that I'm going to read about wood varnishes.
Quite frankly, I don't think you want criticism of your efforts at poetry so much as you want approval of them. That's not a shot, everyone wants approval. But you're in good company: it seems that nearly every feep with a keyboard and a modem fancies themselves a novelist or a poet or a scenarist and has no issue inflicting their drivel on the rest of us.
