I have a question about the Insights forum.  It says in the description :

"This genre is often angry or ironic, with the author's anger expressed in adult language"

I don't know about the rest of you.. but what I hear the phrase "adult language" I think of words that aren't allowed here the last time I checked...  

I read a few poems in there, and they seem fine.. they would be ok in the open forums.

So, my questions is .. what exactly is "adult language"?  I have older poems I could post here but they have what I consider adult language. Right now I have to go to a non-censoring poetry website that I post those poems at (or used to, my muse is making a return slowlyyyy)but would gladly post all my stuff here

I figure it would be better to ask than write somethng and post it... and have a panic break out LOL

Insights is a part of the Mature Content area, where the acceptability of "adult language" is a bit more broad than the open forums.  We still judge every poem on its own merit, but we're more lenient.

Anything that would best be kept between two consenting adults, though - goes Behind Closed Doors.
