So much poetry here and elsewhere goes over this ground - and most of it is, frankly, pretty poor.

That's why when a good one comes along it should be applauded to the skies:

This is not easy and others should take note!

The american amazon site (www.amazon.com) now provides a series of pointless statistics about books. Just look at a books page, if they have analysed it there will be a list of SIPS (statistically improbable phrases) at the top and a "Concordance" and "Text Stats" links under the "Inside This Book" section.

.... the results have just been brought to my attention. Is that Fish I see? If it's not, it's a lady of the similar name who writes of surprisingly similar themes....

Who's young? Does anyone say reccy anymore? As in, he took a reccy. (That is reccy as in reconnaissance, in case it really is old hat. That is old hat, as in old fashioned...)

Where's John? Haven't heard from him on the forums in ages.

Catriona and The Waves.

Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight

Biloxi Blues.

I've written a few poems (posted int he last few days) and just wanted to know what people think of them. All comments are helpful for future writing.

I dunno if I can place this here or not... I guess I will find out if it gets deleted. Plus I couldn't find a contact address to ask. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what that is. This site has changed so much I am very lost here.

Anyway,

Hi there,

Gold Dust magazine is at the moment looking for submissions, in prose and poetry.

BUT we are also after artwork too. More artwork is needed than prose at this point.

in a painting. painting seems familiar.What is it called?And I thought the poem would continue but it stopped.

I just wanted to know if my poems were any good, I know thats a little crass but no one has said if there good and i'm not sure if i'm wasting my time.
This is the first poem I ever wrote
