Poetry Buffet

Poetry Buffet

Not all poems fall into one of our existing sections, and some refuse to be categorized at all. So we invented a category that's not a category, a place where we can put just about anything we want.

So, grab a clean plate and get in line with all the other hungry visitors. We have a smorgasbord of delights we're sure you're going to appreciate.

And, by all means, feel free to return to the buffet for seconds! There's always room for poetry...

  • by Indronil B
    Words, gentle and soft, are not always as they seem. Read the poem first, then the author's description, to see of which I speak.
