I wish the #PoetryCommunity was more like the #WritingCommunity because I see writers of stories talk about their characters and plot lines and have discussions but I don’t know how to find that within the poetry community.

I see a lot of #poetry written and shared, which is lovely, and #prompts that poets can #engage with, but I don’t see the #discussions about what people are writing or #questions asking #poets about what they are writing.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places or expecting something that doesn’t exist. I get so discouraged from sharing my poetry because there is no engagement with it beyond a like or a rarer boost.

Even when I comment on someone else’s work, there is rarely much of a response.

Where are the people who want to talk about poetry and not just write it or read it?
