I've long found this site as the most magnetic on the internet. Yes, magnetic, strong in attraction, strong on repulsion! Why? As to repulsion, these factors: The heavy commitment to pure verse The lack of interest in meter, syllable counts sufficing, The difference in pronunciations across the "pond" The hi-tech aspect of it all (I'm illiterate cyber-wise) The competitive aspect
As to attraction: Your management The talent available here The fertility allover
I've found that my style, which I call "light verse" (sorta tongue in cheek), is really close to doggerel. Only one site, now extinct, has ever recognized a "room" for those few of us who are more motivated by humor and relaxed requirements than by pure poetry and a strong desire to improve per other's critiques.
I've been searching for a home for several years now that PoemsPlace went under. I post now at six sites, none of which has a room suitable for those like Carroll, Field, Burgess, Pound, Auden, Shel..., Seuss, etc. I hope to belong with them
JUst had to make my thoughts known! Cheers , Ron jgd
