Sorry Michael. My idea was a response to the idea at the top of the thread. I only enlarged on it in response to the idea that I was proposing a "kiddies pool" which was not my intention at all.
I think the original idea in the thread is terrible. (Sorry Terry.) We already post poems in order to receive responses and help.
The proposal seems to be that we talk a lot about what we meant as well as showing what we haven't achieved. Since much of the best poetry doesn't start off intending to mean something I can't see much light at the end of that particular tunnel. I wouldn't dream of arguing against others having such a forum. I wouldn't trouble them at all.
I'm sure you have excellent arguments against my other idea.
I seem to remember that you were one of the most assiduous posters of spontaneous poems.
We are sometimes too serious to be taken seriously.
