**ONLY POST HERE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO READ AND COMMENT ON THE POETRY OF OTHER MEMBERS. **
I don't want to know about your 10w or your Haiku’s. There are other collections for that.
I don’t want any FB status updates. I don’t want teenage angst or broken hearts that heal in a week.
I want no attention seekers, tweakers or twerkers
No bleeding wrists or ugly twists.
If you lived it then write about it, if you haven’t lived it then get off the internet and go live a little then come back and write about it.
I want rhyme, I want verse. Read it before you post it.
If you don’t think its brilliant do not post it here.
This page is for the cream.
