Read, Write and DISCUSS PoetryDryTear's Poetry Forum Expectations:
Here at DryTear, we aim to create active poetry forums full of good poetry, effective critique, and improving skills. In order to achieve our goals, we ask everyone who posts in our poetry forums to follow these simple guidelines.
1. Post your work! Whether or not you are a published poet, and new poet, or somewhere in between, we look forward to reading, analyzing, and critiquing your writing.
2. Unlike many writing sites, we do not have hoops to jump through before posting your work. However, in posting here there is an expectation that you will not only post your own poems, but also take the time to read and respond to other’s work as well. A good baseline is to comment/critique/analyze at least three poems per one poem you post in any given forum. Also, if someone takes the time to critique your piece, stop by and let them know what you think of one of theirs. Reciprocity is an excellent way to build community and knowledge.
3. When commenting, specifics are key - comments like "this is a good poem" or "i like this!" are only helpful if you point out specific things that work (or don't work). Please be sure to stay on topic, address the poem itself, and provide feedback that will help the poet develop the current poem and/or future poems.
4. This community is meant to foster writing and learning. Please treat other writers with the same respect that you wish to receive. Personal attacks and off-topic comments will not be tolerated.
Any violations of these expectations will result in the following actions, upon repeat offense:
- A reminder via PM (personal message) by a staff member.
- Moderation of posts until guidelines are followed.
- Banning from the site.

Hansel ate the candy house
upon Gretel's suggestion -- he wishes that he hadn't though for he's got indigestion. Even though he and Gretel were both stuffing their faces poor Hansel's the one who must now wear braces. ~Davidf -------------------- I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork.

In the eyes of the
forsaken soul, silly hearts of tomorrow seem to have been damned for eternity.
Never will they have the chance to taste the putrid grime of reality, only the
sweet nectar of death.
Yet ignorance is bliss, their eyes should be left closed
for if their simple minds even caught a glimpse, a glimpse of the truth, they
would break down the door of insanity, creating chaos, and chasing the horizon
of self destruction. Now the souls that have been forsaken, due to their
enlightenment, have learned to dwell in this barren land of loneliness. Still at
times they grow weak, their frail bodies slowly bend under the horrible burden
of truth.
On rare occasions they betray themselves yearning to be in touch with
anyone else, and though this may amount to nothing, it may also destroy their
individuality. Those who do survive, live always facing the trials of time.
Their only reward is to realize the essence of immortality.
They are the keepers
of reality, reality seen through the minds eye, and there is but one place they
may gather to unite and draw strength from one another, sharing their pains,
joys, hopes and dreams, through a language common to them all, poetry.
That
place is here, Drytear.net!
