Well, I'm just writing to say that this is something you should defintely take advantage of if you want help on anything. Craig's reply to my post really gave me some great ideas and it was extremly helpful. If you have a poem you just can't get right, something you want to learn, or something to debate, just post it there! [This message has been edited by Lakewalker (edited 08-14-2000).] |

Oops! Sorry my finger slipped on that darn submit button and accidentally bumped this up to the top. (Can you really blame me? It’s the first time I’ve been described as ‘Very helpful’) Craig Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Hmmmm, now that sounds like it needs a Poet deVine answer Elizabeth ... maybe you can post the question over in Teen Explorer so Craig and Sharon can respond, maybe others are curious too. |

Elizabeth There’s no need to post in Teen Explorer to find me, I wander around reading almost everything at Passions. Sometimes I miss the odd post but in this case I was hoping to hold back on answering until the weekend. There were three good reasons (or what I thought were good at the time) The first was that I wanted to include an explanation about what WE thought Teen Explorer should be all about and it’s going to be Saturday before I can bump heads with Sharon on that. The second was that I wanted to include an invitation to the members here to ask for YOUR ideas, but that was reliant on the first ‘reason’ being posted to show the type of things we could do. The last reason was it would have been a good way to drag this post back to the top again. Thinking about it I I’ve come to the conclusion that I can answer your question and still do all of the above later, so here’s your answer. Most assuredly and resoundingly YES, Teen Explorer won’t work unless there are some adult members willing to offer advice in the form of replies. I wouldn’t be lying if I said that it would be a major blow to the idea behind the forum if the only adults participating were Sharon and myself. Adults posting poems in Teen Explorer is another thing altogether. The underlying reason for Teen Explorer was to offer a place where Teens could swap ideas and garner snippets of knowledge regarding poetry from other members, including adults, that isn’t to say that adults can’t post poetry. If there is some trick, device, form or poetic concept that an adult wants to get across then an example is an excellent way of doing that, all they need to do is include the reasons why they’re posting it along with the poem. I hope this answers your question Elizabeth, the bad news is this was me being brief! Craig < !signature--> Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. [This message has been edited by Craig (edited 08-18-2000).] |

An excellent idea indeed. When I lose this lil tag along called "writer's block" I too shall venture over there...~*~Why is it that love always starts with a HuG grows with a kIsS and ends with a TeAr?!?~*~ |
