POETS AND POEMS
Public Group active 6 hours, 30 minutes ago(For even prose artists!) Verse of all forms find a home with their writers: A place for the poets of the house where they can meet and exchange ideas especially as they seem to have the least reads on NS.
Don’t worry, we wouldn’t be only speaking Shakespeare or Soyinka…

Hmn… Poetry, methinks is a reflective art or more like a giant portrait hung on a wall. You should feel every pixel, the image should find you wherever you stand…that is the bottom line for me. If it comes […]

@jefsarurmax: Hullo. Where have we been?
To the topic, I think that there’s a certain beauty to poetry when there’s rhyme especially when it isn’t forced. It brings about a certain loveliness that can hardly […] -

However, good blank verses require the deeper […]

@shay, I realized I meant to say that I agree with you.The skills of the poet matter.I will add that the poem has to be about something that the audience can relate to. The background can be set in a different […]

@Shay, Baudelaire is a classic in France and you have to learn it at school, same thing with Apollinaire ,Hugo, Verlaine, Rimbaud etc. It is not a matter of taste.
