First, lots of things outshine this. If I leave a short comment like that, it's usually for one of three reasons:

1) Someone has already made the suggestions that I would make and there's no sense in wasting time writing them again. This is usually the case.

2) I have made more extensive comments on that persons poems before and either they have informed me that they're no interested in my opinion or they have completely ignored me.

3) Because i think it's pretty good and if it can be improved, I'm not a good enough poet to tell them how to do it.

As far as the "modern language", what other language anm I supposed to use? Would Olde English make it more original?

In the future, being direct works better with me. If you think that my commenting sucks, then say that. Please don't be a smart ass. What? I've been a smart ass before? That's true, but only when I've told that person the same thing 100 times before....and when I'm in a pissy mood.
