As well as writing poetry, i also like to read famous poets.

People like Wordsworth, Shelley, John Masefield, Walter de La Mare and Ted Hughes, realy help me to understand poetry, i am interested in how they write and the subject matter that they cover.

You can read a poets subject matter and try to do justice to it yourself. How would you write a poem that they have covered differently?.....Most people just write about certain areas, this might just inspire them to try a different area.

If any of the members of PIP do like to read famous poets, maybe they can share some of their poetry on a section to be determined by the head people of PIP, then they can see what the named poets write like and hopefully absorb some of their genius.

Just an idea....

i think that is a very good idea, the romantics were my favorite, blake, keets, wordsworth, shelly, and coleridge, to name a few,.
