ABOUT MY LOVE OF POETRY
I join!
My favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE to write poetry. I write a large variety about whatever inspires me so I can't really describe my poetry, but I am particularly fond of free verse.
"I took the one less travelled by, / And that has made all the difference." A quote from my favorite poets on your list.

I love poetry! I will join! I like modern free-verse and a favorite poet is Barbara Groce. About critiquing... I had a poetry critique group until I learned that posting poems on the chatterbox means that those poems are "published." I cannot then send any of the poems posted on here to journals/anthologies/magazines whatev. So until I learn more about this, I will not post my poetry. Do you guys think that a poem posted on the chatterbox counts as published?

I join !
I live and breathe for surreal poetry and writing. Any famous poet is fine with me, as long as we have good thick discussion to go along with it!

No, I don't think that should count as published, if you're sharing it with people and having them help you with it. It's like emailing or showing it to someone in person. If I can email poems to my friends or show them to my mom, that's not publishing.
It's unfair.
And anyway, Rose bud, writing poetry is not all we will do. We will also discuss already written poetry.
I also wouldn't think it counts as officially published if you are not paid for it, if you don't sell the rights to a publication.

Ooooh, I join!
My favourite poets are Emily Dickinson and Poe.
I vote for Emily Dickinson!
I like experimenting with rhyme scene!

Thanks Admin!
Can we do a modern poet too? I love Barbara Groce (who passed away recently
), Billy Collins and Mary Oliver.
(April 21, 2015 - 6:53 pm)
Actually, I change my vote to Poe.
I like Emily Dickinson, but Poe would provide an extremely diverse and deep discussion about meaning and will arouse many questions and wonderings.
(April 21, 2015 - 5:55 pm)
I vote LANGSTON HUGHES!
(April 21, 2015 - 6:54 pm)
I vote...Poe. I agree with Hermione.
@Rose bud: We will be doing many different poets, and yes, we might do modern poets.

O.K. Gotta calm down. Too late.
GOINCRAZYCUZIMCRAZYABOUTPOETRYYAAAAAH!
Sorry.
Anyway, I vote for Maya Angelou. TOtally.
CAUSE I'M TOTALLY ADDICTED!
*Dances so wildly it looks like a scarecrow in a tornado*
I looove to write weirdly funny awful fiction poetry about my stuffed animals.
I have, like, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. Stuffed animals and poems.
Whenever my mom writes silly stuff, its so awful that we spend hours gasping for air because we were laughing at the total ridiculousness.
Awesome Poem alert!
The tiger is hunting:
GRRRRRRRRRR!
The light of the moon,
The glow of its eyes,
The only light.
Small prey, watch out!
Run away, you are meat today.
Walking, stalking.
A large pounce!
A small gulp.
The mission complete.
[so am I a genius O WHAAT?]

That poem was like a storm- being tossed around and around. Smothered and drowning in fragmented thoughts. The words are beautiful! Is this written in a kind of meter?
