This thread is for English poems whether they be free verse, sonnets, or other metered poems. While wondering how to state the purpose of this thread, I was struck by all that this thread isn’t meant to be. So let me state what it isn’t and leave it up to participation to continue to define what it is.

What this workshop isn’t:
-This is not a place for poets to dump their entire collection in hopes of quick reactions and applause. Also, don’t put links to your poems that exist somewhere else, there are plenty of other venues to do that on the web.
-Workshop your own poems and take time to review other’s poems. Without that give and take you might as well not participate here.
-This is not a place for adolescent honesty, wherein harsh things are aired bluntly under the guise of honesty. This place has no other purpose than to offer support to fellow writers. Any person going against that spirit will be severely shamed.
-Only English poems and discussions regarding posted poems are allowed here. For all other concerns please look elsewhere.
-By starting the thread I aim to direct and maintain the flow of this thread that’s all. No one’s an authority here, consider this a roundtable class without a teacher where your poem gets read and reviewed by the class. I will offer my suggestions as will others who contribute here. No one is an authority on poetry and no one certain way of looking at a poem exists.

Note: Writers own the exclusive copyright to all the works they publish here.
