Lately, we seem to be going through another "historical moment" every 5 minutes. With the new King of the United Kingdom about to be crowned, which poem speaks to you most about an historical event?

At which point did everything click and suddenly you knew, you were a vessel for poetry?

I was really astounded by some of the comments over on our Instagram recently. There's so many varying stories to all the different poets and I wanted to keep up with that. So my question is: What was your first time writing a poem like? For me, I was 17... first love. I decided to write a poem for her birthday, and even drew a landscape to go along with it. I would really love to read that again nowadays. Puppy love, ey?! What about all of you? How and why?

Okay, so as in my General Discussion thread, for those who have never played never have I ever, it's an old drinking game where we take it in turns to offer up a never have I ever statement... and then you would drink if you have, or you wouldn't if you haven't. Obviously this is online so we are going with the power of GIFS YOU HAVE: YOU HAVEN'T:

So: shower thought for today: What makes a poem iconic? Is it just scholars telling us all this poem is iconic or is it more than that? Does this even make sense? :D I appear to have forgotten the art of communication 😂

Hello everyone! Congratulations on officially making it to the finishing line of NaPoWriMo 2022! I am unbelievably proud of you all and I think we stepped up from last year's event. Tomorrow the thread will be archived, but don't worry you will still be able to access it and read back on everything you have achieved (you just won't be able to comment any longer). Once again, congratulations! You've all made me very proud and I hope you all feel that sense of achievement too! Adam x

So I found this on my morning poetry hunt: I am still trying to research if the poem is hers or just the film! The second Stranger Things star to delve into poetry though!
