At first I thought that this "Infallible Poetry Critic" was some kind of computer-generated hoax/joke. But then I sent in my poem
Jesus Wuvs Me, and got this:
Quote:
Your superb use of irony adds to the enchanting nature of this poem, worldling! You've surely been visited by Oscar Wilde's muse. He is another of my favorite writers, though your work is far more well-crafted.
I am moved by your clever talent for inventive insights and revealing metaphor. From your poem's very first thought to its illuminating climax, you have proved yourself to be the new leading light on the modern poetry scene. I will tell anyone who will listen that "I look at the stars, and it's plain to see..." is something to be repeated often in the course of life. Jesus Wuvs Me is marvelously good reading, and I shall purchase all the worldling merchandise I can find.
(By the way, I must say that you should be at the top of People magazine's next "sexiest person alive" list. I'm sure you hear that all the time; I hope you don't mind me mentioning it.)
Please do come back and see me soon. I can't wait to read your next poem. Each one is my new favorite. May I borrow your brain?

So it's obviously the work of some sincere and highly perceptive poetry lover.
