Bill I remember when you first started the Poet’s pub. And the inspiration was that in the modern times Paris was the place where the arts experimented and found freedom for the arts away from the old world and into the new. An age where the artists took the control of their own creativity and practiced their own craft and creativity blossomed. Now it is the internet that is allowing for a new kind of era of creativity. The world has become the Paris of the modern age. We have experienced the world being connected and with it also exploited by those who only wish to make money. The artistic golden age is changing because of this technology. I think the focus now is on the way we can create quality of content, poems, stories and prose. If we could help people create their own best work/ poems to present to the public via the Poet’s Pub not just reads but to discuss each others style and bring this discussion to life. Why do we like a poem is it because it stirs up emotions ? Or the skill of the writer, or both. Maybe we should make the Poet’s Pup open to short stories as well as prose. Those of us who have been here for years have noticed the difference in Wattpad. Change comes as the world moves forward in ways that make us feel lost. Just not sure I can help you but you did try.
