Hello hello! Please bring any poem you'd like to discuss with others on . It could be one of your own poems from NaPo, a poem you read online, something from a poetry book, etc. If you'd like to discuss a poem written by another YWSer, please be sure to ask their permission first!
The pad link will be posted in the Poetry Readers club and shared to the People's Tab. As usual, all YWS rules and the content rating system apply to the pad.
Also, with any luck, I've gotten the time right this time and we won't have to do any time-travelling
It's supposed to be the day before Easter Sunday for most time zones here I think . . .

Hello hello! With NaPo coming up, we're having a special song lyric discussion for our Poetry Readers pad this March! The date/time will be (adjusts to your timezone). You can bring song lyrics from any musical artist you like to discuss. Some examples of the things we might talk about would be favourite lines, how the language of the song makes you feel, etc.
As usual all YWS rules and the content rating system will apply to the pad. Said pad will be posted in the Poetry Readers club and on the People's Tab.
We hope to see you there!

Hello hello! Happy new year, everybody! On - Poetry Readers discussions kicks off again with a new twist. For this discussion, we're going to try this out: every participant brings a poem (not one they've written themselves, but one they've read and enjoyed reading). For example, if you really like Shakespeare, you can bring one of his sonnets and paste it in the WriterFeedPad. (This applies to any poet you enjoy - though if you'd like to bring a poem by a fellow YWSer, make sure you ask them for permission first!) Additionally, please remember to add a rating or warning in the pad on the line before the poem if it contains content that may warrant such a warning. Using YWS's content guidelines is a good idea, and you can also use more specific warnings. Feel free to ask if you're not sure if something needs to be warned for!
We'll then chat about the poems in the pad. There will be some general prompts provided that could apply to a wide range of poems, but feel free to come up with your own questions for the poem you'll bring based on your interests. Discussing poetry is a fun activity that can also help you think about your own writing, whether it be poetry or prose.
If you have any questions about how this will work, you can ask Liminality! (And if you haven't please subscribe to / join the Poetry Readers club! It's a fun space for people to chat about poetry they've read.)
The link to the pad to join will be posted via the Poetry Readers club and in the People's Tab.

Hi Poetry Readers! It's time to select the next poem by a non-YWSer to discuss.
Please suggest poems below and second any previous poems you agree with. The poem that gets the most seconds / thirds will be the one we discuss this time.
Happy reading!

(In case you're new to the Poetry Readers discussions - don't fret! Our sessions are more about sharing our understanding of the poem and generally we don't do critiquing, since that's more for reviews and workshops. You don't have to be a poet, or feel like you know loads and loads about poetry to join - everyone is welcome)
Looking forward to see you there!

Plume ah no! depending on what browser you use, if you go into "advanced" or "see more" or something like that, there should be an option to continue on to the pad.
