Suggestions on Poetry GroupI have tried to let things die down a bit after the PA issue, but for some reason some people won't let the drama die out. So fearing that It may take until 2300 until we settle the drama I figured I should do it now. I wish to start a group that brings poets of all walk of life into a place where we all can talk challenge each other and learn from each other. This enviroment will not have vile or hate ful remarks made to any poet or person race or creed. We are all equal in here and have a voice. Please be considerate of the poets as you would like to have them be to you. Because I am only one person and I can't see all or do all, I would like to have people place suggestions here so I can get a better understanding of the needs of all poets not just my own. This group will be by invitation only. There will be some requirements that the poet must ahear too but for the most part it the invitation will be obolished within 4 months thanks for your time and I hope to hear alot of suggestions Plot121 AKA Robert... |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry Groupi think that would be a great idea |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupOnce you are on the site for a while you get to know the culure of the site and who is playing what role. |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupI've thought about it some more and initially didn't like the elitist quality of what you were proposing, fearing it would too hastily exclude those who were not deemed worthy. |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupI must say that you have finally used yor head for something other than a hat rack...LOL. |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupSounds good to me! I hope I get an invite.. My question is how will you decide who to invite and who not to invite and who will have that resonsibility? Last edited by gamegodessss 03-30-2009 at 03:25:52 PM |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupThis is a great idea. It really is. I agree there is the potential for exclusion, biased inclusion, etc.. but honestly.. in what social group isn't there? If administered by whomever you choose to moderate is fair.. this is a great idea. Last edited by Originalpoetry 03-30-2009 at 03:59:22 PM |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupHi everyone |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry Groupgreat ideas, and again, kudos to the creator for taking the time to evolve this site to the users wishes...i drink to you! i will be all for these groups, and be able to segregate from the kiddies and idiots whose whole purpose is to slander and become labeled as a hard-ass (pardon my language)...no detraction from honest artists of the rap/freestyle side of things...but there are so many idiots who believe that they are the next Flo Rida, that it causes my blood pressure to go up! So again...being able to join a group of good friends to share would be fantastic. |

Suggestions on Poetry GroupHello Again, I have let things go by without talking for a week and have had some responses that I have yet thought of and wish to hear more. I see by the number counter there have been quite a few people reading this thread that in it is great but with ony 13 people stating what they would need it leaves me to beleive that alot of people have opinions and intrest but no one is willing to say anything because of either me being on here or just scared of what others think. I for one placed my work on another site a while back. I found a great number of responses and found them to be good. We all take chances with our work being here is probibly the biggest one of all where your work is concerned. So I can understand that they may not respond here because someone else may give them grief if they speak out. Look I got a private message and some of you have directed your suggestions there. Thank you for those that did. If you have something to share about this subject please let me know the more suggestions I can work with the better this will be for everyone. The first 5 poets I will choose personally. I have critera and will show them that when I send the applications too them. If you have a real intrests on being a founding part of this group please contact me and show me your intrests. This is a labor of love pure and simple. Hardly any glory and maybe not much commission envolved. Not much you say hmmmm got you thinking. What could plot be up too. You will never know unless you belly up to the bar and get your hands dirty so lets leave it out here for another week pass on the information and lets get these numbers to respectible level here.

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupBump! |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupI agree. I think this is a great idea. We are here to write not to slander one another. I would prefer to be on the peaceful side. I hope to learn from poets that want to spread love into this world we won't be here long so let's love each other. |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupYou would think a peaceful friendly group would be a simple thing. I have been on various chat sites and it is unbelievable how people talk (type) to each other. So hateful and angry.......I guess everyone needs to vent but, yikes some people are just scary!! It would be great to have chat group that just wants to discuss poetry, life, happiness, or sadness but keeping the visciousness out! |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupIt would be nice to be involved with a group of like minded poets me thinks. If invites start buzzing around maybe fly one my way? |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupSo then let me ask; In this group, who is it that would be deciding who got the invites and who gets passed by? Hopefully this will not be an elitist thing... |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupThe point of my being here is to gain feedback, so anything that would accomplish that goal gets my vote. Having said that...and this is merely based on some of the comments made on this string...would the content of work be subject to banning? In my opinion, that would be detrimental to artistic expression and quality. |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupDoes any here belong to a yahoo group? |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupSounds like a great idea. I'm in. Let me know where to sign up. |

Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupWell, my only suggestions would be: |
|
Re: Suggestions on Poetry GroupIn theory - This sounds great. I can tell after reading a few lines of another's work, if I am drawn to it, not to mention, can even understand. I am a simple poet ( if I even am one ) and I certainly do not have the expertise of others. I learn from many here, expressions of depth. |
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
