Are there any rules against posting poetry in the General forum?

Sometimes I enjoy lobbing a lyrical grenade into a flaming trashcan just to see how the natives react. Knock people out of their comfort zones. Put them on the defensive. Get them discussing issues.

Would such a pastime be discouraged?
 
there are all sorts of rules against it, but in the end, it just depends on how you like having your ass fucked.
 
Not allowed to post topics in the form of poetry.

Interesting.

you can

some do

i have, as has drown/cleaver, neci, fata morgana, atlas and others

but it's not too likely to get much response poetry-wise but no-one's saying you can't do it. there has even been the odd lyric thread there, and the idividual postings of beautiful pieces posters have chosen to share with others, pieces from those well-feted for their talents over the centuries.
 
Hmmmmm ........ sounds promising. Something to look forward to.

I often wonder why people wander into the General Board willingly. I was going to ask your purpose, but it's right there. I don't think they have a comfort zone there, or can be put on the defensive, but good luck.

Talk, talk, talk
writer's balk
put something in a mouth
or take something off
flash a forbidden c word in acceptable terms
if there's any left on the list
...the gist?
put up baby or shut up

We could all head over there in force and the last man (or woman) standing wins a cabbage and a Crackerjack pencil

I doubt you'll knock many of us out of or into any particular zone...but give it your best shot, sport.

Like an anthropology study? Interesting. We'll need provisions, weapons, and natives to carry our gear. Someone must keep a diary, so that if our expedition is lost, future explorers may yet learn from our mistakes.
