Forums from a former time, now gathering dust in the basement. An archaeologist's dream.
As you may have noticed, we maintain a rigid standard of unsmiling compliance to the grim task of writing poetry in all the other forums. Well, that may be open to debate. But decidedly not in this one. Flail away!
If your poems contain only vowels or typographic symbols, or are otherwise incomprehensible (ahem. I mean "experimental"), here's the place for you!
Poems of praise, worshipful limericks, odes to enlightenment, stuff like that. If a higher power features as a main character, you may prefer this category.
If your poems tend to start with "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, baby?" this is probably the place for you! Erotic poems are asked to remain erotic, not obscene
Note! The Prose forum is now closed for posting.
Exemplary critiques selected by your Minstrels of Merriment.
On November 10, 2004, PFFA signed its 20,000th member. In honor of this event, one of our oldest members was ritually dipped in liquid nitrogen. The others were asked to each post one example of their finest work for preservation.
As the PFFA neared the ripe old age of two in the closing days of 2001, participants were asked to each post one example of their best work. The results remain here as a closed time capsule.
In the end, there can be only one: the best, the shrewdest, the most determined—“The PFFA Apprentice”
