I don't want to be added to the ping list, but I'm glad you have revived the thread.
A while back, Dave Barry had a very funny idea for FReeping a poetry website contest. The details are on this thread:
Dave Barry Freeps Poetry Scam Site [Vanity, but fun!]
I tried to ping the poetry buffs around here to the tread, but alas the Poetry Branch was inactive. Check out the humorous poetry posts on the thread.
Good luck with the revived Poetry Branch, and ignore the rantings of of bush_rocks. He/she will get over it at some point.
