Workshops on Neopoet are groups that meet for a certain period of time to focus on a certain aspect of poetry. Each workshop participant is asked to critique all the other poems submitted into a workshop. A workshop leader helps coordinate -- they set the agenda, give participants feedback on whether their submissions and critique are at they level expected of them, and after the workshop is over, give feedback to participants.
To join a workshop, first find one that is of interest to you. Once you have found the right workshop (and verified that it is open -- you can find this out in the description below), you can apply to join the workshop.

Wesley, the idea is to post it to the Stream
with 'Poets first poems' workshop selected so this thread doesn't become long and unmanageable.
So edit your post, cut "Sonnet on The Man" from it, then post that as a poem on the Stream with Workshop 'Poets first poems selected.?
Will you please edit this that way?
cheers,
Jess

Add me...
I don't have copies of any of the earliest of my poems, but I remember this one
because I used to tell this one to my children and nieces and nephews when baby-sitting them.
I used to tell them mixed-up fables and children's stories at bed-time and they loved them. Anyways, they liked the one about the bare bear. ~ Gee.

You can add me to the list, here is my first written poem:-
Being
Nowhere does the sun feel so good
Nowhere does the wind blow so gentle
As in the heart of a peaceful man.
Ian-1957
PS:- The title was added at a later date I still have the original in an exercise book along with a few other scribbles..
Take care loves you all,

It is a great idea.
First poems are like first memories.
It is often hard to tell which one was the first, and where is the thin border line between initial mumble and the text one calls my first poem. Lol.

Submission
Supply
You have a known duration
you have a pre-set darling
you have a perfection that explains itself
and then, you have the fault of us.
I have loved this trapped persona,
haven't you gone so far?
cannot you be honest in this process
of travel,
and lie no longer, how you got here?
Terribilis est locus iste
Terribilis est locus iste
Terribilis est locus iste
Terribilis est locus iste
Terribilis est locus iste
Terribilis est locus iste
Say it over and again,
it means, "dont't enter, and this place is terrible"
if that's an initiation,
then nothing will
entice me back
no spelling mistake,
no lack of entitlement
no "specious free education"
no " waiting for Aboriginal rights, forever wronged"
yes:
In a word " bollocks" - you can wait for us.
That's poetry.
