RULES

It must be a poem. It can be any type or length, but it has to be a poem. There is more on the types of poems on the submission page.
No put downs. I think we're all a bit above "lol, ur poem is shit." Critiques have to be constructive.
Prompts can't be too specific. You can only say the topic and the type, the rest is up to the promptee.
Responses to prompts have to stay on topic. They have to be what the promoter requested.

These rules are living, breathing things. PM u/PM_ME_YOUR_PHILLIPS if you have suggestions!
