For a while I was randomly dumping poems in people's letterboxes -- it generated quite a few hits for the website I was on at the time, or at least I'm going to take credit for it though I never did find out for sure 
I'd much prefer to do that sort of thing, or to provide a good resource for people to get themselves to a point where they can do something remarkable for themselves, but that's basically just because I'm lazy. I don't write poetry for personal credit or glory (which is just as well, I suppose, I'd be eternally disappointed!)
There's a rumour going around that The Pig Pen is a site that's really quite concerned with poetry... some even speak such things in derogatory tones, as if that's a bad thing... I'm happy for such people to keep talking, because for every hundred people that can't be bothered putting in the effort we ask, there's the one who genuinely desires this rare kind of environment and that's the one I want to find us.

It could be worse
