Hello all
Weaver here, also a migrant from The Critical Poet which is unfortunately and sadly having to shut down. You've already met the postman below and hopefully more of the members will find their way here. I live in Canada and have been writing poetry for roughly 15 years although prior to that I studied literature and have been immersed in reading and writing since I can remember. The one thing about TCP that I will miss are the very strong and helpful critiques which potentially could be incorporated into this board if that is something people are interested in! Hope to interact and meet you. Cheers W |

I'd been a bit stuck myself, but now some poems are escaping the cell block of my mind

Hi Weaver,
It's so good to see you here too and I hope you will soon settle in and feel at home. Yes! Please post a poem! You say 'The one thing about TCP that I will miss are the very strong and helpful critiques which potentially could be incorporated into this board if that is something people are interested in!' I thoroughly agree and can assure you that I wouldn't have stayed here for all the years if I wasn't getting good critiques. That's what we're interested in here not vanity posting. There is a forum for comments only but the 2 critique forums give you a choice of level of critique by a star system (which I'm always forgetting to use)You can place stars after your poem title - one star for mild critique, 2 for more thorough and 3 for really in depth suggestions. Like TCP, Membership at MM has dwindled over the years. We used to be full to bursting at one time, entering IBPC every month. It's very sad to see so many poetry sites go down. I hope between us we can keep poetry alive and learn a lot from each other. Do ask if you need to know anything at all. Eira ·······  ·······Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.

Did that poem just captivate you? Nominate it for the Faery award today! If perfection of form allured your muse, propose the Crown Jewels award. For more details, click here!

Hello Weaver (Deb) and WELCOME TO MM!
   I am sorry to hear about TCP. I hope you will find our forum a place where you can post your works in a friendly setting. That's always been my mission. Even though this forum too has fallen on hard times and many have left -- we still have daily posts. There isn't as much activity in the critique forums, but that can change in a flash. It's a shame that social media has drawn so many away from the forum boards. Even this board is running on an old version, but Imhotep and I keep an eye on the source code and security and software stuff so it can still operate despite its outdated software. I can always upgrade the software in time, should it become a 'deal',  ! I look forward to reading your work! The rules are at a link below - we are far more 'relaxed' nowadays though - so do not concern yourself too much with them. Each forum has its own 'forum participation rules' posted in a link at the top of the forums, so please read them if you'd be so kind prior to posting: click here to read them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, Eira (Eisa here) or any of our other staff members (AMETHYST, Arnfinn, JLY, Psyche and Imhotep).    ~Cleo

Collaboration feeds innovation. In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind.
