What Stephan said.
"Inexperience" is actually a good thing in some cases -- it gives the writer the perspective of someone who's not enormously familiar with reading poetry and so it lets us know how it's received just on first impressions. We all respond in different ways. All we're asking is that you do a little analysis on why you've responded (or not) to the poem and put that in your comment. It's not just good for the writer, it's good for the reader. It lets you know what it is about certain poems that grabs you. And then it's good for the reader's own writing. So comment how you like, just do it with a bit of thought -- because the more "good job" comments we get without anything else to back it up, the more suspicious we become that people aren't really reading, they're just saying something to keep us happy.
