Does anyone else find Last Submission as mystifying and disturbing as I do? I have followed SusanSnow's poetry for a while now. It has been quite the experience. Does anyone know her or her story?

This is almost a suicide note : but she does have a morbid fascination for death because when i wrote an eulogy on a celeb's death she commented that she could'nt resist epitaphs & obits ......

A peephole into a life that never was, perhaps?

In any case, she's got everyone talking. She's the Duchampion of the week for that, at least.

AMoveableBeast has a couple new offerings I recommend checking out: Dragons and Doughballs and Electrostatic Attractions- very worthwhile reads, though very different tones.

Sweet Oblivion offers up her customary thought provoking iambic pentameter in

This is a new, to me at least, and intriguing poet.

In Ten Twenty from St. Pancras Guilty Pleasure is giving us a lesson in how say much with few words.

Quite new; she joined last month. I've been reading through the poems, and I agree with you. Liking them.

Another new poet BaalatErotas has submitted an intriguing poem in Ink with a common theme, but does it in a smart way

I took a wander through new poems this morning, not having been there for a while, and found some real treats. If you scroll down a bit you'll find All Within Our Floods from wakingDown, which received a well-deserved E. To me, the poem reads like a post-apocalypse tale, with the narrator surveying what was lost and how it came to that point. It's a big topic but wakingDown serves it with strong images and an almost journalistic tone that lets the reader decide how to feel about it.

Continue to scroll and you'll find a plethora of poems by GuiltyPleasure, who (imho) couldn't write a bad poem if she tried. My favorite of this group is Hummingbird, which provides a close and loving look at one species trying to safeguard another.

We are certainly in a renaissance of good poetry of late, both here on the forum and in new poems. If you have some time, read, vote and comment.

Pearls by BaalatErotas, a Poet to watch out for I'm thinking. I've invited her over to this forum threads, I do hope she comes.

Harry's A no-Dog world is a poem which will resonate with all dog-lovers !!

I don't know very much about jazz, but I thought the way Poet0730 played the metaphor, even the way (s)he structured the poem, Like they do in Jazz, was very imaginative.

My private response to your comment on my poem was that I'm no poet. I am, however, grateful that you mentioned my poem here. I had no idea there were Poetry Forums and totally love having a discussion/advice/recommendation spot to come to for ideas and basic good vibes.

Not quite used to the thread setups, but figuring it out.

Thank you so much,

Thank you so much, UYS.

I've never been on any forums before, so it took me a while to find my way here and figure out how to reply. Bear with me.

I don't see myself as a poet at all. I only started sharing because, as with my novels, something burned so urgently inside that I had to get it out. I've been writing poems (and stories) since childhood - but this is how long it took to put my poetry somewhere others could view it at will. Quite frankly, I'd pictured myself posting poems nobody read - and would have been fine with that so long as I'd gotten them OUT-out.

So, you can imagine my surprise and gratitude at your warm response and welcome. Thank you. Most especially for inviting me into an entire group of like-minded creatives that I had no idea were chatting away right here on a daily basis.

My kind of party, indeed.
BE

I usually have mixed feelings about susansnow's poems, but "Epistolary Therapy 4"
is smart and thought provoking.

Susansnow, one of my go-to poets in here, has two today both as intriguing as ever.

For whatever reason, the connection betwen "New Poems" and PF&D has become tenuous over time. It was nice to see "Another Icarus" by legerdemer in "New Poems," one which she workshoped here, posted as a much deserved "Editor's Choice."
