Poetry Critique Group

Yesterday I joined a new poetry group.  It was quite different from other writing groups I belong to.  You bring 2 copies of the poem and read it aloud while others follow along.  Everyone in the group gets to 'critique' it while you listen, just listen.  It was hard not to respond to each critique as it was given.  There were good suggestions, I took notes.  Then came my turn to respond!  That is when I realized I needed to park my ego.  I was gracious to everyone... and grateful for the experience.  Oh, BTW, I am changing the last line.  Thanks everyone!
