It doesn't seem like many of you like poetry. I was just curious if I should stop posting them here at Pixie's since they aren't being viewed much anyway. Do many of you like poetry or just not content with reading in general? I know, life gets busy....just wondering how you all felt about the Erotic Poetry section.

while i'll agree that the poetry section is the probably the least viewed, i wouldn't let it stop me if i were you.
post them here and on a poetry forum. no need to deprive those of us who enjoy reading them , but you do deserve to be able to give them to people who would be more responsive.

I confess, I hadn't dabbled much in the poetry section but I like the majority of your additions - I'll look more. I think the reason for my hesitation is that my views on poetry are quite strict. I just don't like 'poetry' that doesn't rhyme. In fact, more than that, I genuinely don't think a poem is a poem unless it rhymes. Your rhyming erotic poetry, however, is an interesting twist. Definitely keep it up.

I've heard the opinion fro both side....rhyming and not. Not sure which one wins out the most. I seem to like rhyming because it's like a game for me. On the other hand, I try to cater to those who don't like rhyme so much. Either way, I would absolutely be thrilled if more people read my and other peoples' work.

The thing I've never understood is what differentiates 'non-rhyming poetry' and normal prose? Unless there is a definite definition that can make one thing one and the other something else, they are indistinguishable and can't be considered separate genres.

Do you write just poetry? Or other stuff too? I'll promise to read yours... well, the stuff that rhymes anyway!

From what I've learned in my poetry class, the only difference between nonrhyming poetry and prose is the line breaks. Prose tends to have complete thoughts in each line while poetry has the lines broken to prevent complete thought in each line.
