Poll: Would you be interested in participating in a "mentoring" experience?

[milo]

i think the idea is someone asks someone responds. i see no problem in someone asking another member in pm, though where's the fun in that

I see it as done exactly like you did it - a poem is posted with "mentor Wanted" and someone steps in and fills the roll.

it save all the begging via pm and doesn't put pressure on anyone (i think)

so are there any guidelines yet

Yes, I would like to put a broken poem here, pick a fellow poet and go through the process. The collaboration aspect is most appealing to me. However, I don't fear admitting that I would absolutely need a true mentor to learn how to properly write a sonnet in iambic pentameter or some other poetic confine of rhyme and rhythm.

Writing in iambic pentameter isn't that hard, though writing a good poem in the meter can be. Reading quite a few sonnets helps.

Yeh...I have had several PM's asking for one-on-ones. I think I understood the request. Though I have always agreed I have insisted it is done in the workshopping forum AND that the offer to help was discretionary and not ALWAYS going to be given. Generally speaking, one dose of crit sends most off to reciting to mummy...BUT there are notable exceptions. I still have hopes for sonata. How gullible am I?

yes, tom, I have seen that as well. I think the extended one-on-one fits perfectly here. You should have them post it as.a mentor thread if you have the fortitude.
