Poetic Stimulators
Past poets of the month
..
Poetic Stimulation is a place where you can express yourself freely through poetry. Its a place where you can meet other stimulating people and gain knowledge through these people. Poetic Stimulation is a place where you can share your poetry, get help if needed, and to meet really inspiring people. Post your poetry either in the journal section or the comments section. Have fun and enjoy!
It makes me so happy to see so many people posting their poetry and joining the page. When I first created this page I didnt expect to many people to join and be down with the cause, but there are so many of you. There are so many diffrent kinds of people who joined to to I'm lovin it. The whole point of this page for me is to bring people together, to be a gate way to expressing yourself and being heard, and for it to be a way to give other people knowldge in a good way (stimulation).
When I started this page it was to be a realm for artist and poets to share their work. i have goten a comment once that siad " i rember when this page was all poetry and art" This is very true. I miss those days! So please post poetry send in your art on my comments section. We will bring back the purpose of this page! Please leave a comment of this callobor!rember poetic stimulator doesnt know how to spell but the message is thereContinue to stimulate!

WAYS TO GET PUBLISHED
*There are a ton of books you can find on publishing your own work.
The work should be examined well. Or at least looked over and checked for grammatical problems, or flow, etc. I suggest you look up a site called Poetry Critical. @ www.poetry.tetto.org
It's a great place to get much needed criticism and critique from other poets.
There are also forums on the site that might help you with the publishing question :)
*Go to www.pw.org and check the classifieds - there are always calls for entries - poetry, short stories, chapbook contests, .. zines, etc.
A couple of sketchy things to look out for:
If the 'reading fee' is more than $20, don't do it.
If you are required to buy a copy once they publish you in it - don't do it.
If you want your manuscript back, be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Last but not least, be patient - most publications will take a couple of months to get back to you, whether they are using your work or not.

* A cost effective way to get published to say the least. Through lulu.com. actually publishing it via internet and selling it through there i know is free.. peeps can visit their page and buy it for however much they decide to sell it for. OR...for 35 bucks they can put an isbn (barcode) on the book.. and myabe distribute it to stores themselves or just have their work be "searchable" in an isbn database. so that libraries when they order books..it'll come up. OR they could pay like i think 70 bucks. (i think its 70 bucks) and for that the site will publish and then distribute the poets book to stores like barnes and noble and everything. full scale publishing. you should check it out. its a good site.. a few of my friends have bought my book. and i like that its like you can set your own prices. thing is you actually get royalties and everything like actual publishers give you..but the amount of the royalty i believe depends on how much you decide to price the book.. so that the site "lulu" gets their "cut" lol come one..it's america.. everyone gets their cut ya know? lol but i totally think its a good site. check it out. hopefully this helped.*poetry.com
good luck to all who want to be published

"soothing, move as silky pure and grooving.
move as no, means please just hurry,
stop means only, a bit to the .. aaaahhh that's it.
soothing, move pure and sure as you bring,
delivering ; delivering
every quivering inch of my quenched burning mind stench.
delicately wealthy helping elves see twelve feet,
borrowing sorrow stomps hell out with bell cleats.
they'll cheat. only then themselves they'll beat.
None will run if funded brunches rung in sun drenched
fun quenched compass tounge wrench direction sections lessen.
down with all the no's and up the yessin lesson
positive live uncut libation,
thanks for all the great Poetic Stimulation
i didn't mean to do this but my name is jason"
"Dude, its people like you who inspire my mind and self peace. instead of living in greif i can live under the stress and fallin leaves of my life and my mind. to accept them for their presence on earth just like myself is to respect like i do to god himself. its divine..* (i'm a stoner poet) I'm glad i found you through Guanaco man. leave me a comment of some kind if you have the time. *world pace* - Ty"
"The best thing about this group is that people are looking to encourage each other and to share about how they are starting to love the person/body/imperfection/total package that they have been giving. Feel free to talk about pasted, present and future goals here. You will never find a more encouraging and loving bunch of people. Moreover, an added bonus you will never find a more honest kick you in your butt group of people when we realize the world is knocking you down and you are taking it. STAND UP BE COUNTED AND BE PROUD! After all, YOU are HOT SSSSTUFF!
