I’m Not The Only Blogging Poet

In a face to face conversation with another blogger a few days ago, the topic came up that I might be the only blogging poet. As several people have expressed this very thought to me, I think it only fair that I point out a few of the hundreds of blogging poets I have discovered, many of whom have been at it longer than I.

Say hello to Laura Harvey. Laura works raising cash for a university and plans to start working on her masters degree in October. Laura began writing poetry at the age of ten, some twelve years ago. Her poetry web-log, Poet's Tea has been online since August 2004.

Laura works mostly in free-verse that is well-formed and tightly scripted (very important if you prefer to write in free-verse.) She subscribes to the theory that much should be left to the imagination of the reader or listener. Personally, I don’t usually work that way but see nothing wrong with it as long as you do a good job of it. Laura does a good job.

Laura lives in London but has traveled to Cambodia and other parts of Southeast Asia. Her worldliness is apparent in her mature verse. (I love smart women.) I recommend all of you drop in and read her verses.
