online poetry board

Craft a poem. Pour a glass.

Post a poem. Sign it... or don't.

Hey you's, pull up a chair, pour a glass. Put your poems here, read what the rest of you guys wrote, and decide each time whether your name goes on it.

Sign the guest book

An account lets you sign your work and keep it in one spot. That's all it's for.

Pick the critter over your shoulder (all Michigan natives)

Rather keep your name out of it? Skip the account and post anonymous below. No sign-up needed.

House rules

I.

Write it, post it

Paste in your poem. Line breaks stay where you put them. I don't fix what isn't broken.

II.

Sign it... or don't

Put your name and critter on it, or go anonymous. Your call, poem by poem. New writers and anonymous poems get a quick look before they go up.

III.

Keep your own shelf

Sign in with your email and all your signed poems are in one place. Swap your critter whenever you like.

Share a poem

Every poem gets a thread underneath. Tell the writer what works and what doesn't. Be specific. Be civil.

Got a poem in a drawer?

Sign it... or don't. Either way, get it out of the drawer.
