What is poetry?


<< Thread Modifed October 19 at 7:26AM >>

How is quoting a single Bible verse verbatim, and putting a one-line comment at the top "poetry"?

I get the need to proselytize. But do it on FaceBook, or if you simply must do it here, at least write a poem or story of your own. God created all the stars, allegedly, so he doesn't need six more.

Calm down, big fella. You have options...

1. Hit Skip.

2. Take the money after quietly explaining your point of view.

I agree that this is not a valid 'poem' but if some folks want to post it, who am I to stand in their way?

RE: What is poetry?
You're right, Steve. I guess I have been extremely naive in expecting a writing site to be about writing; the particpant's own writing, not someone else's.

I shall silently slink back into my cave, and most likely not darken the doorstep again. The light dawns for even the thickest of us, eventually.
