Guardian Workshop - Adèle Geras
Lost : Little Girl, by Jude Goodwin
Hair blonde eyes blue
green when near water
nose and chin small curving
white brow wide summer
smile last seen wearing
sand shoes holding shells holding
the wind last seen by the river
growing.

I've discovered a whole bunch of poetry workshops I didn't know existed, due mostly to an interesting Poll posted online called the Online Poets Poll. and the ensuing discussion/debate/argument on various boards as to its merit, level of legitimacy, etc etc. My own opinion is that 'fun is fun' and how can it hurt? My complaint would be that there are a lot of poetry forums missing from their 'list' - I would like to see the page updated significantly.

More on the demise of the Three Candles workshop : Here is a note on owner Steve Mueske's blog -
For more reasons than I care to enumerate here, I blew away the public, semi-private workshop associated with three candles. I have, in its place, erected a private workshop for serious poets. To gain admittance, participants must either be invited, recommended by members, or demonstrate a sufficient level of skill to be useful to the workshop. If you are interested in participating in a workshop without trolls or newbies, send me an email. steve.mueske@gmail.com
And speaking of good forums now defunct - it appears that Mike Duran's APAD and poetry forum is permanently closed.
