Im a crazy calcuttan who hates the new name and Im here to haunt the poetry forum. I cant play guitar for nuts but strum a little to try and put music to words. Still suck at it though anyway hope to learn a little from everyone here.
or maybe just a few more people interested in lyrics and poetry? As for intellectual yet warm minds, I'd settle for even one of the two.
There are quite a few good poets here, both active and dormant. Search for Bubblymartini's poems. The good poets while i was active in the poetry forum were cryptic_angel, #ir@ (or something like that), tejas, revthewiz and rafia. Madhuresh and astroguru represent the far out kind of poetry, the kind that Syd barrett would look at and say, "Jeez what the f*k are you on mate". The latter part of your post. Well put.
There were good times. When the admin was still part human..... It's all dead now except for the occasional person pondering the death of this place.
