*sighs* If you post a piece of writing and then demand feedback, you shouldn't get angry if people are truthful about it. I'd far rather have some good honest criticism on some of my work (and not just "that's good" even if it's blatantly not, and they're just saying it so not to hurt your feelings), as you can't improve something if you don't know what's wrong with it, than nothing at all (although I agree that compliments are nice...).
If you're being honest with yourself, you'd have to admit it's not exactly the most brilliant shining example of poetry... The idea of poetry is not simply to make it as long as possible and rhyme. Some haikus are very beautiful, but they only have seventeen syllables (I think I got the number right). Like Alector, I don't think a 1-10 score applies here.
Happy?
