The Forums:
WARNING:
Members are
requested to comment on one other thread prior to posting either a
poem, or a story. Please note that any NEW works that do not meet this
minimum requirement ARE subject to deletion by Management WITHOUT prior
warning.
Important: The Subject box is to be used
only for the purpose of placing TITLES. Any other comments belong in
the Message box. Poems that have something other than a title in the
subject box, will be subject to removal. Please comply.
If you can't think of a
title, then simply put "Untitled," in the Subject box. It can always be
changed at a later time.
Ink Blotz
This
is a forum for all forms of poetry (excepting erotica), by all levels
of poets. Critiques are allowed to occur in this forum, but must
first be requested, or agreed to, by the poet in question.
Threads will be periodically created in this forum called Miscellaneous
Converstations. These
threads are for all non-poetic discussions on the board that don't have
some relevance to the poems in question. For instance, it is fine
to write about your life experiences on a person's poem thread, if
those experiences relate either to the content of the poem itself, or
to other comments posted on the thread. If you have something to
say that doesn't pertain to any of the poems on the board, we ask you
to post it in the Miscellaneous Converstions thread.
-all
forms of poetry are considered equally valid; whether they are metric
rhyme, free verse rhyme, blank verse, or prose poems. Not liking
(rhyming poetry) will not be considered grounds for criticism.
This
is a full critiquing forum for the purpose of advancing the poetic
arts. If you post here your poems WILL be subject to
rearrangement, editing, comments on grammar and spelling; all without
needing your prior permission of the author. This forum is to be
used by poets seeking to further advance themselves in the poetic arts
and does, at times, require a tough skin, though the Rules of Conduct
still apply. Poets that complain about their poems being
critiqued on this forum will have their poems deleted (or moved) and
their
membership reviewed by committee. Poets that post here and
consistently refuse to modify their poetry, may be asked to remove
themselves from this forum and not return. In this forum, we are
serious about poetry. If you aren't, stay away.
Critiiquing poetry is work. At times it is hard work. Show
respect for those peers of yours that are taking the time to give you
their input by at least listening to their suggestions with an open
mind. In this forum, you WILL have to justify your decisions.
