Elections, Andrew, Rett, Paul and I seldom give critigue

Andrew and Paul can't, they are the owners.Their critique would affect the site.
Rett, let him explain himself, and I ask him to, especially as he is standing for election to the AC. Please explain.
I critique, write and work hard at the AC, which you don't see. I so do what I can.
Chrys is a superb poet, and an excellent mentor, a bit of a drama queen but she loves Neopoet, so vote for her in the upcoming elections.

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Poetry begins for me as a nice phrase watered by an idea that final, usually springs onto the page, almost unbidden. That's the nice way.
Sometimes it starts with an ache in the stomach, like a naught boy who knows he is about to get caught for some misdeed. This is when I know I have to write something self-revelatory, or that tears at my social conscience, and it must not be left unsaid.

cheers,
Jess

Everybody needs to realize that being an AC member can be pretty demanding. So having a bit of turn over would likely be welcome.......
Poetry? Doesn't almost all poetry begin with an image in the mind then move on to the brain coming up with a phrase to describe the image? Or am I the only one in which it works that way?
