Making Poetry Popular

There are people here that have the heart and passion to do just that. When I came to this site, i just enjoyed writing. Since I have been here I want to learn. I want to better my skill to create poetry that will stand up against time. You have started. Even if it is just one mind.

It is very disheartening to read about people I think to be great poets struggling to get their work read. It makes beginners wonder why we should push on. But that IS the reason we should push on. To replace the crap on the shelves being passed of as poetry with something substantial and well crafted. As new people join this site, minds are being changed. Even if it is only the mind of the poet. But, it's a start. Change the quality of work being produced inturn changing readers minds when they have something better to read. Oh yeah, AMEN Stephan. I got sidetracked on a ramble there.

I will gladly go on this mission with you guys.....as soon as I get this meter thing down. May I bring my walker? I suspect it may take a bit.
