I have seen the poems of Andrew, Catherine, Ralph, and J.D. Smith, but there are so many hundreds of poems posted on the site that I don't have time to read them all (and I have to confess that many of them do not repay reading, especially those in rhyme and meter by people who don't know how to use rhyme and meter). A free-for-all like this can be a public service, a sort of therapeutic venting session, but it is not the place to find good satiric verse. I suspect that its purpose is mainly to lure in new subscribers to the newspaper.
