The Wondering Minstrels - Poem Collections
Briefly, a collection is a set of poems, with a title and an optional
description. We've defined five categories into which a collection can
fall:
- Theme: These are the explicit 'themes' we've run, e.g. the Silk Road poems
- Subject: Collections of poems on a single subject
- Personal: Personally significant poems (favourites, fondly remembered poems
from your schooldays, poems that you keep around to share with friends, etc.)
- Poetic Forms: Named forms like haiku, sonnets, villanelles, etc.
- Miscellaneous: The name says it all
You may freely define and modify collections in all these categories (apart
from the themes, of course) - we've got a few examples up in each category, and
the website has a form to create your own or to add to an existing set. If you
have any new ideas, or any special feature you'd like to have in a collection
but can't add via the website, just write to minstrels-owner@yahoogroups.com
and let us know what you'd like.
On a technical note, the whole process is managed by a cgi mailer that submits
your requests via email. These emails are stored in chronological order, so we
can roll back the stack at any time. What this means is that you can't do any
permanent damage, so don't be afraid to experiment.
Finally, if your just-submitted change doesn't show up when the page
autorefreshes, just hit 'reload' and it should appear.
