We're here to have fun! These rules are intended only to keep the list fun for everyone:

1. Respect copyright. This means not only giving credit for a poem to the original poet, as I'm sure you will. It also means that nothing shared on the list gets circulated outside the list unless the author specifically gives permission.
2. Critique only on invitation. This isn't a workshop list; if you want one, I'll gladly set that up, too! Some of the members may appreciate feedback to help polish a poem, and others won't, so please state "feedback requested" if you want it, and only give such feedback if it is requested.
3. There are no participation requirements! This is a fun list! But what you get out of anything is a multiple of what you put in. If you don't have a poem to post, post a thank you! :-)
4. Only one post *is* required: your introduction. Poetry is intensely personal; we will be sharing our hearts with each other. It is difficult to share your heart with strangers, so let's not be strangers!
5. We're all adults, and I don't believe in censorship. If you can reasonably expect your poem to be upsetting to some members, however, please provide a warning in the subject line. This includes poems about abuse, rape or other violence that may be triggering to survivors. Writing is healing, but we all heal at different paces.
6. Please take care of yourself. If you see a warning about something that you would find offensive or triggering, don't read the post. We should have lots more here to read. :-)

Write On!

:D

Each week we will have a theme that you can write on, if you wish. This is not mandatory! And you can send in any poem on any subject that you want to share, at any time.
