So you think you're a poet?

They expect the mods to do everything :)

Yeah, but what if a freak meteor shower takes us all out at once? Who would start the word-of-the-day threads, guys? WHO, I ASK YOU?!

So you see, this is a rather important matter.

The people must learn to represent and support themselves without the authority of government. Maybe we don't want to be in charge of everything. Maybe we want to give you guys responsibilities and power.

Are you brave enough to accept?

No. Sorry. My arse hurts today.

Just lovely

I am frustrated by most rhyming poems... too often the writer sacrifices meaning and imagery due to limited word options. Line breaks and spacing are more important than many people seem to recognize. And there is nothing wrong with the word "I".

On the upside, I like alliteration, assonance, pantoums, and free verse poems about abstract (or drunk) experiences. And I like simple lines that hold acres of meaning.
