Any good sites where one can share poetry for free and get comments/opinions?


Hi, i just joined a poetry class at my college, and i’m having a bit of fun with it, so i was wondering if anyone knew of a site where i could post poetry and receive critical/peer advice and/or opinions. Not stuff for class, just poems i write onmy own time to see what the world thinks of it, anything just so its published somewhere and reviewed! thanks!
thankyou, those sites look good:)

How do the structures of poems play into the meaning of the poem?


For example, the number of lines in a stanza and the number of stanzas in a poem? I’m doing The Moose by Elizabeth Bishop and there are 28 stanzas in the poem with 6 lines in each.

Poem Question: Is there any significance to a train having its headlight on during the day?


I have to write a “reaction paragraph” to the poem “Oh, Oh” by William Hathaway. Is there any significance to the fact that the train’s headlight is on in the middle of a bright summer’s day?

Also:
What types of imagery are there? I never really understood how to figure that out in poems.

What is the theme?

Effect? I don’t know exactly what my teacher means by that.

How can I get enthusiastic about writing again? Have I got writers block?


Ever since I was young, i’ve been keen on writing. I used to write daily before I was a teenager, filling page after page of random stories and poems and other rubbish that I loved at the time.

Now that i’m sixteen, i’ve took my GCSEs and am now studying for my AS Levels and i’ve found myself, every time I sit down and try to write, my mind is empty. I feel like my skill and enthusiasm is gone.
I’ve got hundreds of tiny ideas in my head, which i’d love to explore further in a story, for example. But when I try and write it, it’s just not coming to me like it used to.

Is this writers block?
How can I get enthusiastic about writing again?

Thanks in advance.
