Title Restrictions Why are there restrictions as to how one titles one's own work? Not being able to punctuate properly ruins the word play in a piece of mine.

Knowing what form a poem is I have never studied writting, just write what comes out. So my dilemma is I have no clue as to what form to label my poetry.

Knowing what form a poem is So, am I to understand that, since I do not know what form to label my poetry (because it takes time to learn), I can not be recognized in a contest, even though it may be really good?

THE FEWLY APPRECIATED Wow Bob Atkinson is one of the most pompously arrogant commentors that i have read. As if you are the end all be all voice of what is good poetry.
To the subject at hand: I have had this very problem on another site. One poem 245 views and 1 comment? Even had it featured on the page, and 1 comment? That is why I came here, but I see that nothing is any different.

This place is a joke I've tried commenting on other's poetry, posting in the critique page, and contests. Nothing, except three comments as a welcome on my first post. What a joke!

Poe makes an impact wherever he goes! "To be"....hmmm, I wonder about the narcissist's opinion of Shakespeare. ( or if he even realises that language was different 187 years ago)

Poe makes an impact wherever he goes! Not suprising that you missed the point again. You know that no one really cares about your opinion on Poe, right?

Poe makes an impact wherever he goes! I think you are more like Poe than you think Atkinson.

Poe makes an impact wherever he goes! Quite long winded, but cute. Poe makes the same point in a much more entertainingly succinct way. However, I would have expected nothing less from someone as self-proclaimed as yourself. You know what killed poetry? Not Poe, but the introduction of free verse.

Some missing masterpieces! Atkinson's "critique" is a cut and paste of another forum post of his. On the same poem! Not one bit original.

English 10 Teacher from Canada! MsAndraya Hughes, hello and wwelcome. I know that I was not one of the poets that you contacted, however, I have one poem that I would like you to peruse. If you would not mind? It's called "What Makes a Teacher Special". Since you are a teacher, I wanted to share it with you. Your profession nevers gets the credit that it deserves, so this is my small contribution. I hope that you do read it and enjoy. Feel free to read any others that catch your eye. If not , I completely understand. Thank you for your time, Keith Osborne

English 10 Teacher from Canada! I am just being curious Ms. Hughes, do you have any poetry posted here? I looked, but could not find any.

Rhyming woes Try a Fibonacci form.

How do I... Problem is....no one comments unless you are part of their clique.

These Threes These Threes




Let me sneeze

if you please

on some pleas

(from their knees)

"Stop the cheese"




Akin to fleas

rampant in leas

annoying as bees

or losing keys

they - a disease




Strive to seize

with their commentaries

and narcissistic decrees

aimed to appease

ego sized trees




May have degrees

but no boundaries

one really needs

couth for these

novices writing poetries




One should freeze

before spreading fallacies

full of hypocricies

spewing out idiocracies

wheezing only sleaze

How do I... I beg to differ Ionic Zinc. I'vr tried to leave comments and get nothing. Too many narcissists!

These Threes This one is a personal message to someone. It was written with a certain ire behind it. That may be why it seems unpleasent to read.
