It’s obvious from the vast quantity of blogs on the interweb that poets like to fritter away their time as much as anyone does. OK, that’s cool. But what is frustrating is that decent message boards for poets seem to be nonexistent. I’m tooling around on Absolute Write right now, at Doc’s suggestion, but I’m finding that the level of discourse is far below what I had hoped for. The people who post there don’t seem to be interested in reading anyone else, as evidenced by the fact that there aren’t any discussions about books. It seems like people just post bad poems and then congratulate each other on bad poetry. I don’t want any part of that.

So I’m tempted to create something, because I have a bad habit of creating. Bad bad bad. I don’t need to create, I’ll just be disappointed when no one hops on board.
