The Poetic Bandits• Show poetry

Our Mission Statement
The Poetic Bandits are a group of active members on AllPoetry who are dedicated to improving their skills as a writer as well as helping others to improve. Our focus is not only to grow within our group, but to also help the entire AllPoetry community. We shall not let our own beliefs get in the way when critiquing another's poem and will not bash another poet because their beliefs are not our own. We see writing as an art and treat it likewise. We will be honest yet encouraging when commenting and shall only give constructive criticism, never direct condemnation. Group members treat each other with the same respect and kindness as they would like to receive in return. We will not tolerate unlawfulness inside or outside the group. We will abide by and uphold the rules of AllPoetry written by the administration. We continuously strive to improve our group with new ideas to make it a fun, more interactive group.

Bandits We Be
by © Dee Garner March 14, 2007

Out of the darkness they came
With gusto and one common thought
So many well meaning bandits
Fear and apprehension ‘twas naught

They sprang from the pages
Of mirth and mystical rhyme
Just to spread cheer and love
From out of the pages of time

The breeze carried their song
To each target of their attack
Yet each was caught by surprise
And was duly taken aback

So come all ye merry poets
Poetic Bandits though we be
We’ll only steal a moment or two
Then give it back whole heartedly

Selected Testimonials:

I have been a member of this group since the beginning and I am so proud to be part of this group of amazing poets and great people. I have watched us grow so much and continue to grow in quality and in quanity. We have a fantastic leader "Lilac Thoughts" that is doing a fantastic job of keeping this group in tact. What started out as an idea of the founder of this group (Sharu) is becomming a really big hit and you just never know our famous "Hoodwink" just might go down in History...

Again what can I say that has not already been said. I am so proud to be a member of the Poetic Bandits. They are such a caring and devoted group of fine poets. I joined after being Hood-Winked which I still have not gotten over. It seems when I am at my lowest they are there for me in many ways. I am the lucky one to have found such a wonderful group of people. I am so new to the group but can't wait to grow and learn within this fine group. Thanks for everything. Theresa
