New Poems

Blog Posted by Seren Roberts: 2/27/2013 7:03:00 PM
I have noticed that there are poems posted with the form incorrect.  i can understand new poets not knowing what form to put.  But it does annoy me that a nice way of pointing this out isnt in place by the more experienced writers.  ABC is the biggest  culprit.

I personally send a soup mail and gently point this out and show them the way to form.

What do you all think?

please check out new poems and the abc form  by the newer poets.

Not making a stand  just a gentle pointer.....

Oh, I miss Nancy Jones! She was such a hoot! She'd often use the forms as a way to state how she felt about a subject. For example, she's cheesed at the government for being stupid, her poem would be three lines of what is so hard to understand you bunch of crooks. She'd label it ABC. As in elementary education, folks. Then if she wrote about liars, it would be FIBonacci. If she really cheesed, CHOK-a... I am not sure how many got her wisdom. I did. Miss that chick. You'd have liked her, I think. Bold. She was part of the "occupy" movement, a peacenik for this decade. I'm of the mind, its all about the words... you can call cheesecake liver, but one taste and you know what it is. :D xox

I have stated before that I wish there was a control boxes to tick, each time we post a poem. They would say something like, a) I just write for fun. Hope you enjoy! b) Looking to grow as a poet. comments welcome. c) This poem needs work. Please, help!
