Serious Poets Only - Forum 2
This is the place to post your well written,deeply metaphorical poetry.
For this forum you will need to post clear,quality works.You are required to critique at least two poems of your choice,for every poem you post.Currently we allow a maximum posting of two poems per day,per person.Eventually this will be reduced to only one poem per day. Poems which are clearly of poor quality and/or content will be deleted without notice.Those poems containing all caps will also be deleted.
Exercising editorial control means "exerting the right" to delete extraneous material and anything inconsequential to the board's objectuves.
When someone say for instance we'll call him "Tom" for lack of a better example posts material that deals with the possible or speculative interactions between critics or posters - this is completely tangential to the subject matter and should be deleted; in this case Tom would have no alternative but to work within the rules of the board's objectives.
Critique of the poetry is the raison d'etre for the board and remains rightly so. Only poetry and critique in the correct context need remain.
Examples of critique are ( and are not limited to): rhyme, meter, content, content analysis, transformation, form, language... and none of which relates to the personality of the poet nor the critic.Disruptive,nonconstructive comments,personal attacks,as well as profanity will not be tolerated. Those engaging in these behaviors will be banned from posting.
What makes the boards of poetry exciting are the new uses of language, different forms of poetry, different forms of expressiveness. Monotonous singsong couplets devoid of content or development deserve not the moniker "poem". Monotonous, sing-song poems all of the same tenor and monotony will be deleted as well, especially when the content has been deemed not in keeping with the stated goal of this "Serious Poetry Critique Forum."
Don't place your poetry in this particular forum unless you are open to abrasive critique because this is the exclusive purpose for this submission area. If you aren't quite ready for this forum,you should first proceed to our "Gentle Critiques" poetry forum. Now, enter the "Serious Critiques Forum" by clicking on the bar below.
