Taking a look through the old poem review thread when there were dedicated people doing reviews on new poems and while it was arduous for those involved it seemed like that extra effort seemed to spark a more community like atmosphere of sharing and commenting. Without which I would still be thinking of poetry as (cringe, shudder) rhyming couplets...... this place misses a lot of those voices that helped and encouraged.
As much flack as 1201 caught and often brought on himself I feel he is missed here because his acid often made others help the newer poets. I believe I have grown worlds away from where I started out. I wish I had the time to put out more comments on work posted. Also looking at Mirrorimages post regarding the poetry forum which has been a shambling zombie for a couple of months I agree with her. It took me months to find out there was a forum and that though the people here at first were a bit standoffish, warmed quickly and welcomed me as a "poet" helped me to actually become something closer to a "poet".
It annoys me thought,that G'M, one of the best poets here can barely garner the same number of views as a thread only created a few weeks ago simply coz it was linked on the home page.
shut up todski, you're drunk and rambling/........./
