One great thing about Poetry being moved into a club, is that if you click on the Poetry Resources tab, I believe that each Poetry Prompt could be posted there, especially since they generally include links to information about that type of poem.

If I assume correctly. This will help them clean main forum page from too much clutter. Easier to navigate.

 

I've just moved all the Poetry-related stuff into one club and added some more stuff specifically for Poets.  We also broke off clubs specifically for Sci-Fi and Fantasy writers as well.

Was reading a poetry site...they had some prompts to get you thinking...one was a gorgeous pic of Saturn. It made me think. Ive decided to write some poems about space. Something different outside my comfort zone.

Yes, anger and hurt are here, but also wonderful poetry.

I've been in a bit of a poetic drought lately, but I was inspired on the drive to work this morning.  Today, Buffalo is laying to rest one of our police force.  He died in the line of duty last week, and his passing has been felt throughout our entire area.  This is written in tribute to him.

The way
You breathe for me
Is as marvellous as
My heart beats, endlessly, only
For you

That's good to hear you found the humour that's somewhat hidden with a different perspective. And thanks to you too, for reading and putting your views as comments.

Here is a link to another ‘duet’ kind of poem I posted. The formatting is a bit screwy, so you may have to adjust your screen...

For a little while, I panicked and thought LPS was deleted. Glad it's all here.

Hi! I made a tribute for those LGBT+ out there who are still hiding in the closet.
