This speaks right and appropriate use of the word flux-ale and meaning is so clearly explained in appropriate use of events; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

That's a great idea. I had never heard the word flux-ale before, thanks for explaining in the notes.
Good beer is supposed to be good for you or so they say.
Thanks for sharing.

Now given five stars for a good poem. Trouble is everything we swallow can be bad for us. Everything is okay in moderation, it's when we over indulge that the problems set in
( By the way is beer your favorite poison ? lol )

Four mean it needs fixing. So, what are your suggested improvements / corrections?

Thanks,
Craig

Hi I , I thought four stars just meant it was good.
So have now changed it from four to five.
Is it showing five now ?

reply by the author on 25-Nov-2018

Hi Jean, it is. And thank you for your kindness in addressing that. My interpretation, and that of most others, I believe, is that if a piece is flawless AND it strikes us as being particularly noteworthy or deserving of high praise, then it warrants a six. If it makes its point, and is essentially error-free, with no defects, then that would normally get a five; even if it doesn't particularly evoke a strong response, or even necessarily agreement, on the part of the reviewer. A four, or anything less, means there are issues which need addressing (in which case, it's helpful to state what they are).

Ultimately, I think the best guide, apart from the instructions posted by the site, is to ask how we would like our own work reviewed.

Again, thanks for reconsidering.

Craig
