Poetry Gathering - Virtual Gathering Of these adventures, Muse, daughter of Zeus, tell us in our time, lift the great song again. This web site features many ways for all to participate in discussions, exploring and sharing traditional forms of poetry and creative collaborations.
Some poetry just has to be let out.
The Gathering is born out of a belief that our legacy of language leaves the possibility of artful communication open for all of us. We invite our readers to post examples from themselves and others of found poetry, nonsense poetry, jali praise poems, and other traditional forms of expression. Please remember that we are not an online publisher for original work but seek to build interest in traditional forms of poetry by encouraging participation. We have also posted suggestions on publishing your poetry on line. Ongoing Collaborations and Conversations Using traditional online message boards, we have provided a variety of ways to participate in a dialogue about words and poetry.
