I was looking for a definition for something...terza ritma or maybe the proper lines for a villanelle. Something like that. I googled the term and found the glossary page. Did some searching and browsing and found the forum.

The rest is already written.

I figured I'd give it a try.

I googled for poetry forums, I was looking for somewhere that gave feedback rather than just a pat on the head and a good word :)

Google... the idiots guide to the internet (and I'm the biggest idiot of them all).

I was bored at work and looking for something to inspire me so I started searching for poetry and discussion boards on literature, this one was top of the list.

:D

I like google, the fact that they are trying to scan all books that they can get their hands to make an online library kinda sells it for me Im afraid.

i happen to know google are scanning over a million out of copyright novels and so on from 19thC from the bodleian library in oxford - original dickens novels with illustrations, that sort of thing, as well as poetry. they may be a massive american corporation but at least they put something useful on the internet!
