I was looking for a definition for something...terza ritma or maybe the proper lines for a villanelle. Something like that. I googled the term and found the glossary page. Did some searching and browsing and found the forum.

The rest is already written.

Shanghied, don't you know.
Hope ya don't mind another 'merican muckin' up the language.
Eliot did.

I figured I'd give it a try.

I googled for poetry forums, I was looking for somewhere that gave feedback rather than just a pat on the head and a good word :)

Google... the idiots guide to the internet (and I'm the biggest idiot of them all).

I was bored at work and looking for something to inspire me so I started searching for poetry and discussion boards on literature, this one was top of the list.

:D

I like google, the fact that they are trying to scan all books that they can get their hands to make an online library kinda sells it for me Im afraid.

i happen to know google are scanning over a million out of copyright novels and so on from 19thC from the bodleian library in oxford - original dickens novels with illustrations, that sort of thing, as well as poetry. they may be a massive american corporation but at least they put something useful on the internet!
