   I just read poems at that site by Shaun Gannon, xTx, Ras. Mashramani, and Stacey Teague (in that order chronologically; respecting only the favoritism embedded in randomness). They were all good; that’s an unusually high ratio of ’15 good minutes : ehn : 15 minutes gone forever’ .

   Note: is “Let People Poem” a better moniker, the verb ‘to poem’ being a bare infinitive (in that construction)?

   it looks like people are posting more than once, so i think the plural works. you’re let more than one poem; OR, it’s referring to the readers, not the writers

   (also thanks~)

   I was suggesting that “poems” was from the made-up verb ‘to poem’, going with the auxiliary “let” – like the “run” in ‘let John run’ or ‘let Mary and John run’ (where there’s no plural, or no difference between plural and singular, because “run” is a bare infinitive (or – I’m not sure – a remnant subjunctive)).

   ‘Allow people to poem’; ‘permit people to poem’; “Let People Poem”.
