I'm trying to brows through the poetry in there but I don't see any when I click on poetry.

I see the alphabet and a double arrow page advancer but I don't see any art.


What's more, I'd like to add some of my own but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that. So iff'n someone knows how could you drop a reply?

Thanks in advance,


-Rhae.


EDIT: Okay, that's a mite confusing. Tried to find the poetry place to keep trying to figure it out and couldn't find it. Thought maybe I'd mistitled this post since I couldn't have been talking about the "Blue Sun Room" because here I am clicking the link and it isn't showing what I thought it did last time.

Then, oh. Look, there are TWO links that say "Blue Sun Room" and each goes to a different location.

My habit is to pop into FFF and hit the "community" link first off. Then I see, what I think are, all the links to the various portions of the site in a vertical fashion before me. This apparently is an ignorant assumption on my part.

I was outsmarted by a website. Ug.

Still working on figuring out where all that shiny poetry must be hidden at...

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


I think you need to just submit something and say that it's the category of 'poetry' rather than 'Adventure' 'Romance' etc. Most people put their poetry in the filk section, which explains why the other section is blank, I think..

You know, I don't see the radial dial that says poetry. I see:

Action/Adventure, Drama, General Fiction, Horror, Humor, Mystery, Parody, Romance, and Suspense as options.

No poetry option.

But, and it's probably shameful to admit this, the word "filk" disturbs me. I think the concept the word is meant to express is "altering the words to a song in an attempt to catch the same aural resonance but say something different." I'm okay with the concept, truly am. The word...that word...yelchh.

Now "poetry" on the other hand, that has a delightful ring to the ear, like the water of a mountain stream tumbling over a large smooth rock while ferns and evergreens soak in the morning sun.

I'd rather post poetry in poetry not in...that other place.

And now, the Petty Award goes to: Rhagar Targaryen. Congratulations, you are now officially petty.

"Why thank you all, never thought I'd make it. Years of toiling, I guess, is what brought me here, now. I'm flushed. Thank you!"

Sad.

My signature...Rhae.
