Purpose of forums:•
Poetry Writing Topics: This is a forum for poets to discuss things pertaining to writing, publishing and such. This is not a place to get feedback on something you've written.
•
Poetry Critique: This
is where one may get feedback on personal poems. Here's some good advice (not a rule): if you want feedback on your stuff give feedback to others—it will help them to care. If you want access to the private critique forum, please post at least a few quality posts on the other poetry forums (preferably replies to other people's posts, or non-critique forum posts), and then ask for entrance.
•
Poetry Reader Topics: This is where you can discuss poems you've read, poets, or topics relating to them—and such.
Content Warning:• If your post contains any foul language, please remove it—or if it is content to be critiqued, kindly let us know at the beginning of your message body—otherwise, you may be banned from these forums.
• Do not post erotica or anything with adult content, otherwise, you may be banned from these forums.
Advertising:• Advertising is allowed as long as it relates properly to the forum at hand and does not break any other forum rules (i.e. writing contests would go under
Poetry (Writer Topics); if you're trying to get people to read a poem, on the other hand, one of the other forums would be best, depending on whether you want a critique or if you just want people to know about it).
Important information for hymnists and songwriters:• If you are a hymnist, please use the forum at
this link instead of these poetry forums.
• There are non-hymn forums for song lyric critique:
Public forum;
Private forum.
