Analysis of In poetry.com, sort of…



So the whole idea
Of community sharing
Commenting.
Somewhat misses it.
Largely misses it.

The poetry contests
Much too random.
So many to read
Before the vote.
Did poets remain
Anonymous throughout?
Bad idea when perhaps
The name would trigger
The other pieces posted
And a pleasing familiarity
And respect.
For a fellow member.
Encountered at other times.

And then there is AIDA.
She is a puzzling and amazing
Wonder of computer comprehension.
And nuance and suggestion.
Only about 40 seconds for a reply
At some length.
WOW!

So bottom line, why
Have I posted hundreds of poems
Under three different names?
Practice at the Art of it.
Developing a few good “friends”
Worship, largely worship
And the thrills of inspiration
From on High.
Another creation happening.
For a hungry one who asks.

Sampling a process of inspiration/creation.
