I've used other poetry boards for this, and over the years I've seen a number of people do the same. I can also see the sense of the "no kiddie pool" stance. Each of us should take his or her own revising ability as far as it will go, since every posted poem is a request for expenditure of time.
Terry's initial request was for a way to deal with work that we
know is troubled. To me, the most interesting thing about the responses on the thread is that some of us
don't distinguish between old, blocked, frustrating pieces and everything else. I'd like to ask more questions of those folks. Do you get the answers you feel you need if you simple post those pieces without additional explanation?
