Sharing as much poetry as possible
Welcome and Introductions Post!
Welcome to our humble comm on the Imzy! Please come in and make yourself at home.
Please feel free to share what brings you here, what you love about poetry, whether you write or read it or both!



Hello! I like to read almost anything, and would like to share some of my favorite poems. Maybe even try my hand at writing a few.
Hi and welcome! Glad to have you!
Hi! I write LOTS of poetry. It helps me search my feelings about my personal life, politics, about both the beauty and the ugliness that I see around me, and because I get an idea while driving in my car or doing some other mundane task. My mind is always whirring with possibilities and the best way to calm the storm is through words. I think that most of them are terrible and a very few are good, but I think that, for me, that's the nature of artistic creativity - many lumps of coal, few diamonds.
I'm glad to be here and have enjoyed the poetry you all have posted!
It's so great to have you! I've always felt that to write a lot of good poetry, you have to write a lot of bad poetry. Practice makes perfect. :D
I've been writing poetry since I was very young. I also write fiction, but poetry is my one true love, and I especially love the challenge of working within a form. My favourite form is the sonnet, but I will try my hand at just about any form. The most difficult form I ever tried was the paradelle. Good lord, was that ever hard.
So good to have you! I must try this paradelle... hm
I like to read and write poetry and am looking forward to hanging out here a lot. I love the stuff written between the lines and how poetry evokes rather than beating someone over the head most times. I love form poetry and free verse and most things in between.
I don't really read much poetry, but I want to, so would love to hear either favorite poems or favorite practices when you're reading
Nice to meet you! I do read a lot of poetry and am already trying to remember where I stashed some of my favorites so I can share them! It's so good to have you here!
