You Speak of Everyman

But I am told,
I can't comment on workshop poetry,
hence I read slyly…
But now it’s clarified
I can comment easily.

But your Everyman
includes everyman and woman
Hopefully!

When I passed by a garden in Montreal,
I observed a beggar
sleeping on a bench...

Torn shabby dirty apparel
but his inner showed,
as if he had just purchased it
or picked up one ...

He was an
Every –sort –of man
Like just any one…

Not true. You can comment on workshop poetry,

It is open to the Stream.
You are just asked to read the syllabus of the workshop to understand the context.

Some workshops specifically ask members to ignore content to learn technique, others ask them to post rough drafts to show development.

You can read can't you? Try it. Your self-confessed rate of one good poem per 150 (Transformation vs Transmigration) would certainly be improved just by reading good poetry.
