A community to link to or copy and paste poems. It is not complicated.

Formatting help: two blank spaces at the end of a line will show you the path in the edit window

most certainly learning the Unicode markdown labels for spacing

and how to activate them for your or someone else's poetry.

if a poem's language settings make it at all difficult to mod i'm deleting it.

A Small Needful Fact by Ross Gay

Is that Eric Garner worked


for some time for the Parks and Rec.


Horticultural Department, which means,


perhaps, that with his very large hands,


perhaps, in all likelihood,


he put gently into the earth


some plants which, most likely,


some of them, in all likelihood,


continue to grow, continue


to do what such plants do, like house


and feed small and necessary creatures,


like being pleasant to touch and smell,


like converting sunlight


into food, like making it easier


for us to breathe.
