Should i rename coffeeconnection.co.uk? If so what are your suggestions? Apparently a .com or .org url has a wider impact. Also websites whose url includes words relevant to the website also generally list better in search engines. The .com version of coffeeconnection is available for $25,000. I have no plans to purchase it. So what are your ideas for the new name of this website. The word poetry / poem / poet etc must appear in your suggestions. List of suggestions poetspoetrypoems.com...

The monthly open mic, with a featured poet, up in Voorheesville, NY, today our host was Dennis Sullivan, with the featured poet, Therese Broderick.
I began the open mic with "Georgia O'Keefe's Hands" because I know Therese likes the poem (& it is about art), & 3 haikus, 2 brand new. Dennis Sullivan , a classics scholar, read "The Realities of the Aorist Tense" (which drew me back later to my battered copy of Goodwin's Greek Grammar ), & "To Place Sweet Hector in his Grave" -- both poems...

I was wondering if anyone would like to take on a challenge? This week I have been in Cardiff at a conference for teachers of English as a foreign language and one of the keynote speakers was talking about "wordle", an online resource for looking at words. ( http://www.wordle.net/ ) For those of you that don't know about 'wordle' hit the link above or google it and have a go it's good fun. Why do I mention this? Well, one of my poems on this site has received many kind comments from you all... Read Full Story
Hello fellow poets! It has been wonderfully fulfilling to read so many different poems written to the same title and premise. We can celebrate the great diversity among us and the commonality that brings us together here all at the same time! You are all such tremendously creative writers and it is inspiring to share in the reading of each and every poem! I'd like to throw out the next topic and see what comes of this....... Title: "And the stranger gave me pause to think" Premise: We... Read Full Story
With the blessing and encouragement of site administration, I recently added a new community called "Collaborative Poetry." It is a community where poets can collaborate on poems together. I plan to throw out a topic and a premise and will start a poem with several lines or verses. Anyone wishing to jump in with an entire poem of their own, a verse to add, a line to add, or any suggestions on better structure, wording, rhyming, etc... can do so at any time. It is great to see all the... Read Full Story
I've got to ride on the edge of a wave, Get used to the loss I'm sailing away, As each day passes I'm close to decay, This is the journey away from the bay, The sunlight glistened and turned into grey, The nightlight shimmered but would not repay, Dusk edged closer as amber burned to hue, Frost spiked sharper in clear transparent blue, I'm amused by this sentence of twisted tubes, I'm bemused by this endless choice of views, i'm confused by this shape of mismatched twos, I'm pounded by this...
