This, the Poetry section of the forums, is a place to share and discuss poetry, either the genre of poetry itself, or to compose a poem for others to read. (In the latter purpose, it is similar to Self-Promotion or Show & Tell, but not exact.)

However, please observe and respect the following:

[list=1][*][b]Serious poetry only[/b]. You may create a new topic for a specific poem, but please make sure that it is a poem that you spent a bit of time and thought in development of. In other words, if you want to create a topic to showcase a single poem by you, make the poem worth it. Of course, this also means NO SPAM and NO FLOODING.

[*][b]No song lyrics, please[/b]. A lot of songs may rhyme, but they are designed with respect to music, and do not necessarily share the characteristics of meter and verse that poetry is known for.

[*]You [b]may[/b] create a topic for yourself if you have several short (like haiku- or limerick- sized 'short') poems you wish to share. Please do [b]not[/b] post several short poems as separate threads apiece.

[*]And, of course, all standard forum rules (written or otherwise) still apply.[/list:o]

There are all the rules.
If there is anything more,
please reply so here.

Thanks for putting up those rules. I almost died when I looked at the Poetry spamming.

Just a question...I wrote some non-serious poems and posted them here, all having to do with cheese. Do they still count as 'serious', since I took a while creating them, making them rhyme and making them humorous, or would they be non-serious ones? Wink

"Serious" as in a serious [i]purpose[/i] for posting, not necessarily a serious [i]poem[/i].

Humorous or comedy poems can be fine too.
