	A personal favorite of mine is The Royal Jester but there are over 400 on this site to dig in to. I'll definitely check out Wilfred Owen -I am not privy to his stuff- thanks! 1 day ago	View
	I can get lost in Dickinson’s stuff myself, but l also gravitate to John McCrae, and believe it or not, Ambrose Bierce...l find Bierce brought an air of light-heartedness and humor in alot of his poems that appeals to me. Truthfully l enjoy eclectically pulling inspiration from here and there when things strike me a certain way (and alternative music artists’ lyrics are always on my radar too) and have been known to pull things out of my dreams to create something. I was reading some older short stories for a bit but right now I'm working my way through Branded by the Spirit by the late El Collie--which is a personal account on kundalini and spiritual awakening. more » 1 day ago	View

	Real quick, something l've been wondering about that it seems may have been overlooked: once a poem has been submitted, if you edit the title or content in any way, it seems the site deletes the poem's genre selections and does not allow them to be restored or denoted again going forward—which is discouraging... Could there be a way to fix, or get around this circumstance? more » 3 months ago	View
