Rubrics Needed Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Rubrics Needed

Rating: 5.0

The PoemHunter Admin
needs a set of rubrics
for selecting and ranking
Best Poems of Member Poets
Best Poets of Members, POD
other daily showcases ‘nd features
too many goof ups too often
makes the site a laughing stock.

one may ask,
"where're your tools?
"are we mere fools? "

1) A rubric is typically an evaluation tool or set of guidelines used to promote the consistent application of learning expectations, learning objectives, or learning standards in the classroom, or to measure their attainment against a consistent set of criteria.

2) Recent Goof ups of PoemHunter
On the 29 January 2024, the Administration FAILED to come out with a "Poem Of The Day - Members".

On the same day, the poem "A Rose" by Aarzoo Mehek, which was at rank #80 in the list of Best Poems of Member Poets for a very long time, was elevated to a rank that it genuinely deserves, rank no.07. I was very happy that, finally PoemHunter has recognised itself. But, No! Today, the poem is relegated to rank no.67. Sheer injustice. But PoemHunter has no systems in place. All such selections are done on the whims and fancies of some individual who does not differentiate between Poetry and pomegranate.

Only Admin knows what is happeniong on this site...how poems are rated, selected and placed in order. Though I don't belive in ratings and ranks since every poem is unique and every poet expresses their views in their own ways.

3) so, selecting and showcasing 'best' poems and ranking them is not a bad idea, I believe. Thank you Asimji for sharing your thoughts

2) I agree with you that every poem is unique. Still, there are good poetry and not-so good ones, even bad ones too. Poetry is a work of art and nothing can compare with innate talent

Thank you, Asimji for appreciating my point of view on the haphazard manner in which ph selects and ranks poems and poets. I have been closely following up with the admin to establish a transparent process for these
