[edit] Wikicity

[edit] WikiPoets

It's nice to display your poetry, but you can do that anywhere.

How about a space on Wiki to share our imanigation and create poems collaboratively, as the encyclopedia is created collaboratively?

Take yourselves and your rhymes (or blank verse) to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiPoets

[edit] sections

The file size has gone over 53 MB or something. We need to make, like, books, y'know, like they did with the bible.

Ex.: Poetry/The first one Poetry/Pure poems Poetry/One more time Poetry/Peices Poetry/Jabber the wocky Poetry/Powertry Poetry/Loops Poetry/Not again

[edit] Copyrights

I have removed Zidane.jpg because someone objected to it on copyright grounds.
