Unsure about violation on poetry?

Is asking for an opinion on a poem a violation?

If it is not a violation, can the content of the poem itself be a violation? I would only be asking about structure, rhyme and meter not about the language of the poem, but I would have to post it as-is in order to get those opinions. The poem could be considered anti Islamic.

    Asking for 'opinions' on a poem, photo, avatar, etc. is a violation. No different than "Am I pretty?". Asking for ways to FIX or IMPROVE the poem is not a violation.

    However, posting anything that can be construed as hateful, racist or bigoted, even in the form of poetry, is liable to attract enough reports to get it removed as a violation, sorry.

    In any post even poetry, you have to consider who it will offend, and obviously if it "could be considered anti Islamic" it's going to upset a lot of people who may multiple report your poem. Simply put...the guidelines state that you must not insult members.
