If there is anything a respectable editor will not touch, it is a poem about a poem or about poetry. Unless a REALLY FAMOUS and perhaps lately deceased, poet wrote-et.
But everybody has written one, at least one. They are sulking at the bottom of the drawer, we cannot bring ourselves to discard these embarrassing children, but know that they are doomed to obscurity.
Janice to the rescue. I suggest that we can admire (or smirk at--silently) each other's bastard offspring HERE in this thread.
You show me yours and I'll show you mine (It is OK to post here even if you have a poem in the crit process).
How 'bout it? Who will be first? Who is the bravest of the brave?
