Online poetry communities that would welcome songwriters as well?

I am looking for an online poetry community in which I can grow and exchange ideas with other poets and songwriters. I just googled it, so I can see that they are not all equal. It would be great if such a community would offer a chance to exchange specific, constructive feedback--not simply negative criticism or quick, snarky one-liners. lol





Suggestions?





Please suggest poetry/songwriting communities with which you or someone you know has had a good experience.





Thanks.

i don't know of any...but I agree.


There should be a forum to exchange ideas and info and get constructive criticism..for poets and songwriters...


although i would be sure to have my work copywritten before posting them on-line...its far too easy to have your work stolen.
Reply:I'd recommend you check out Neopoet.com. It's a little on the smaller side-- just a 1,000 members or so, but it's really intimate and friendly.





For an example, check out the feedback on this poem--

If you are the type that contributes as much constructive criticism as you take, I think you'll fit in really well.
