A poetry sharing community
We live in an age of “twitter-speak” and emojis. Now more than ever we need poetry and the power and clarity of expression that great poetry delivers. Our mission is to make the great poems of the past accessible to all, to present them in an interesting and exciting way via podcasts and YouTube videos. We also hope to encourage and facilitate the creation of new poetry … to inspire creativity … and to use our site as a meeting place and discussion forum for new poets and their work. Currently, this site is a showcase of the poetry of Kelp, but we hope to share the “spotlight” with other worthy poets in the not-to-distant future. Please let us know you are out there!
