Suggestion To The Postpoems Community
From time to time, each of us who are fairly active on postpoems ought to visit the archives from the earliest days of postpoems and select a poem or two on which to comment.
I presume postpoems still communicates notification of these comments to the Poets who are still active, and that might remind or invite them back to full participation.
How frequently this should be done I cannot say. I comment on the archived poems once in a while, but if more of us would do that, at some convenient frequency, it might rejuvinate that portion of postpoems that, in the archives, may have been forgotten. I love to go into the older archives and browse through the names of those who were postpoems' great luminaries when I was brand new to the site.
Just a suggestion; and, if none take it, I will continue, like the Little Red Hen.

This has been a time honoured
This has been a time honoured personal practise of mine in every site. At times it surprises the 'thread hoggers' and the 'forum nazis' but as you so eloquently shared it helps to keep the flame alive, to reconnect with works and poets from a shared yesterday, and to reactivate connections that over time have been eclipsed. I agree full well and encourage all to consider this worthy persuasion.

Postpoems has become a huge
Postpoems has become a huge part of my life---second only to my Faith---and I cannot imagine my existence without it. Nor can I imagine why some Poets from the early days of postpoems no longer participate. Putting comments on those poems lets those Poets know that they have not been forgotten. I wish a lot of the current Poets at postpoems would join in this effort, and so multiply the number of comments on those archived poems.
