Can anyone recommend any good Lush poets to a new member?
Apologies if there is already a similar thread in here somewhere and thank you in advance.

They are all good or Lush wouldn't publish them. What are you in need of?
I guess I could probably have explained better.
I've had a scan through some of the poetry on the front page and most of it doesn't really do much for me personally. My preference is poems with really beautiful language, carefully chosen words specifically selected to convey a powerful image or emotion. I'm sure rhyming 'tits' with 'slits' has its place, but I prefer something a little more elegant if that doesn't sound too pretentious.
Perhaps someone who writes in a clever free form or maybe a meticulously crafted style with traditional verse techniques.
Would the 'recommended' section be a good place to start? I didn't notice that earlier.
Thank you.

Where Jimmy Swaggart sinned
Just east of this here town
The drawstring of my britches
Let my drawers down
As I passed wind
And when I hitched them tight
I had to put my nuts in a truss
Cause my cock lost its getty up
On a Plantar's Wart sidewalk
Just east of this here town
Thank you very much for the recommendations. I took a quick look at a couple of works by these authors and there are some exceptionally talented writers here.
Already a big fan of 'Frank_Lee' and 'Liz'. Exceptional. I will endeavour to read through at least a couple of poems by each author recommended. You've all been a big help. I appreciate it.
Adagio, thank you for your contribution to the discussion. I'm afraid that's not really my cup of tea though.
