 <LOL> Krygowski asked about my books. I showed him, so now all he can
do is pretend that I didn't write them, or insult the quality.

:-) I've linked to narrations of some of my tours. Mr. Tricycle said he didn't believe them. I or others have linked to newspaper articles about my bicycling and my bike advocacy work. Mr. Tricycle said those documentations were bragging. I think he mistakenly thinks others must behave as dishonestly as he does.
As for judging bad poetry: It shouldn't matter to Mr. Tricycle. He regularly proclaims he doesn't care what anyone thinks, so he shouldn't feel insulted.

 

As to the quality of poetry, there's a fairly simple test: Submit it for
publication. If its printed by a well-respected publication, it's
arguably good.

 Nonsense, none of the so called well-respected publications accept
anything except from an agent, which costs money.

Absolutely, absolutely false. I have dear friends who are honored poets and who work in the poetry publication field. I can give very detailed descriptions of how poems are chosen for publication ... down to narrations of disputes between co-editors and how they were resolved.
Of course, Mr. Tricycle will call that a lie. He believes nothing that differs from his tiny world view.
When a person pathologically isolates himself from others, he learns little about life.
