I have experienced a bit of this on some of my poems. I know that a few folks do not approve of my poems about my curvaceous Muse because they are respectfully (not profanely) explicit, and because they do not conform to the slender/skinny/heroin chic still promoted by certain magazines and websites. English-speaking/writing poets seem to be a little more prudish, or judgmental, than their counterparts in other countries, or in other ages (I think of the poems of Catullus and Propertius).
Don't let the haters discourage you from posting. Catullus is still applauded and taught in classrooms, whereas those who criticized him are remembered, if at all, because of his poems, with their criticisms only an adjacent footnote.
