Is this a forum where just for the hell of it I could join in and write an extemporaneous piece of shit poem and post it - just for fun? or should I have to be embarrassed because I might have had a beer or more, and some supposedly erudite self-styled poet will have a self-sense that requires denigration for its personality ascendency? I wouldn't ask, except I post under my own name, and I don't know how to go back to anonymity.

Just as a warning, I don't know anything about poetry either, but I am willing to try and to type.

Although I haven't read this thread in detail, it seems as if most poems have not been authored by the poster. Is this a thread for posting poems that you like, or for making poems, whether or not the poems have merit?

In a redneck bar down the street

my crazy
friend Pat
boasts she can chug
one bottle of Pabst
down one swig
without even touching
teeth grip
swing and it's up in
she glugging like a watercooler
everyone watching
boy that crazy
act every time gets them
bartender runs over
says lady don't
do that again
