the poetry forum community page

[billy]

A Community Page is being set up on face book in the hope of driving a little bit of traffic to this site in the way of poets.
If you have a facebook account, could you visit us there please and give us a thumbs up, leaving a message or poem would be even better, but i do realize many hate to use facebook at the best of times.
Me, jack(Heslopian) addy and digna sofia have agreed that some of our stuff can go in there, if anyone else feels they'd like to leave one of their poems which has been posted here please feel free to do so, we would be really grateful.
If anyone who has a facebook account could pass the link on to some of their friends i'd offer to hold a photo of them in front of me the next time i whip one over the wrist

For anyone who wishes to help the page to visit is HERE

Me and addy (specially addy) are putting an a lot of hours into trying to promote the site, any help you give in the the above mentioned ways would be really appreciated; okay, I've done grovelling, now get back to work

[billy]

Billy, I noticed that no one is getting the idea with the Facebook page. They are just posting their poetry on FB. So I left a post explaining that if they joined the site . . . blah . . . benefits . . . blah . . . learn tu spel bettre . . . u know. Hope that was in good taste.

I had a little look (I didn't even know such a page existed, because my relationship with facebook is not a happy one) and it's definitely in good taste. People who post poetry exclusively to facebook generally aren't looking for honest critique... so I do hope some of them are just in between decent sites and find their way here so we can change their minds

[billy]

well said AA;

yeah, the sad thing as leanne said is more or less how it is. it would be great if your urging gets 1 or 2 of them to post here.

[Wildcard]

Oh, well. I didn't think of it that way, but you're right. Facebook doesn't exactly draw the brilliant people in, does it?

[billy]

maybe not but as you showed us, it's well worth the try
