poems can be written by anyone, including famous poets

My "a month of poems" journal is done! Sending it out tommorow. I really thank you for hosting this. I am not one for poetry. I have tried to deliberately read poetry, by participating in reading challenges, but those did not work out well for me, perhaps because there is not much to "discover" in an anthology curated by another individual, & I unfortunately picked REALLY abstract ones.

This swap really helped me to enjoy poetry, at least, SOME poetry. I read a lot, all online, from all sorts of sources that I could think of. I did not note each. Some I really enjoyed, but were too juvenile to share, some were "tldr", yes, I'm embarrassed, but it is true, I STILL don't have patience for very long poetry. I browsed a lot of contemporary & Indian poets. This was a GREAT experience.

Thanks also, for keeping the swap so ..."Spartan"! It made me focus on the real thing - finding poetry that I understand & enjoy, whether happy or sad.

It is futile to ask NOW, but am I supposed to date the entries?
