New Poets and Fun Poets and Serious stuff

Active & in discussion

As we run Four Workshops here at most times that means about 40 poets maximum are being trained and they are struggling;-

As our new members come in can they be put on an introduction site similar to the undiscovered place, where they can be directed to a suitable workshop when available.

Mind you this would be a change to the "greet process" and would need at least a couple of knowledgeable poets to sort,
Here they would direct the new poets to a suitable workshop.
As most of the workshops are full then a holding Pen/Quill could be arranged, some of our better learned poets seem to dominate the workshops where others with less experience would be better off.
I read the list of poets in the workshop places sometimes and think well who is going to be the teacher here????????
This would be the hardest part to achieve as we are limited by active members..
Maybe those learned poets in the workshops could branch out and run their own according to their expertise..EG:- Wesley could run the epic's and others take their roles from what they know.
There could be a couple of Masters, to just look over the whole thing and through PM, give advise to Pupil or Teacher alike, we have members of this quality so why not use them..

Maybe the heading of for "reading only" could be used as an extra part of Neopoet..
The main stream can be utilised better if there is a separate place as the undiscovered poems.
For poets that just need to write for fun, I know you are going to say Neopoet is for learning, well if I can read more poetry then I will learn. and that the workshops are full most times ???
These submissions could be labelled by the poet themselves as to their purpose. another piece of "Workshop or not" to annotate the poem..
Mind you, then I can put some more of my works on here lol

Have a great poetic life out there,Yours Ian.T
