Original Poetry on the Web

Contrary to what many people believe, the web is rich with a wild diversity of literary creativity. Classical forms of human expression, including poetry, flourish in cyberspace. In fact, cyberspace provides a forum for authors that is unparalleled in pre-internet human experience: for just a few dollars a month, ANYONE can present his or her work to a potentially world-wide audience. I am proud to present a selection of original poetry on the web. All material in this section of Nightstar is linked in only with each author's consent. Please respect the rights of these authors by not copying their work without their prior permission. I hope you find these poems enjoyable or thought-provoking, or both---or more! The Poems Train to Paris Haunting, alluring... By Charles M. Clifford. Where to start? Here you'll find heroic ballads on both classical (Arthurian) and original fantasy subjects, songs about loving and keeping your man, and poetry about (of all things!) baseball. This woman, Karen Davis, is a creative genius. And she also has prose and the start of a fantasy serial... Don't miss this site. There will be more here soon!
