Workshops on Neopoet are groups that meet for a certain period of time to focus on a certain aspect of poetry. Each workshop participant is asked to critique all the other poems submitted into a workshop. A workshop leader helps coordinate -- they set the agenda, give participants feedback on whether their submissions and critique are at they level expected of them, and after the workshop is over, give feedback to participants.
To join a workshop, first find one that is of interest to you. Once you have found the right workshop (and verified that it is open -- you can find this out in the description below), you can apply to join the workshop.

Any luck enlisting?
I haven’t asked anyone yet. It would definitely be interesting to add some more poets.

My Natural Blonde Tyrannosaurus Rex
My Natural Blonde Tyrannosaurus Rex
I wish to be back in the day
We slept together on a pile of hay
Milky white skin she could send a hex
Make me a drunken toy for sex
We ran with bow and arrow
Sometimes only to have sparrow
But that damn Rex was always on our heels
Enough meat for hundreds of meals
End mark
Start Rosewood Apothecary
Recurrent dreams of fanciful youth
Forty foot reptile steps on my roof
Precipitates a frightening flourish of screams
That permeate nightly, into my dreams
Giant jaws open with deafening roar
Just when I think I can’t bear anymore
The dream sequence changes, dino and all
Springboards me into my recurrent fall

On it goes in the Ever-Fall
I know she can hear my call

in her black skirt and sweater
her lipstick does enhance
as we begin a Jitterbug dance

Her teeth did gnash
And tore my flesh
As we both climaxed
She cleaned me up
With a bucket and mop
Mind blown in every way
What was next for my Rex and me

Begin Dystopia
One night she took me by the fire,
Asking if I was a liar,
When I asked her to be mine,
As life with her would be so fine.
I put the ring upon her hand,
Now together, exploring foreign land,
She would be my partner in crime,
For her I would give my last dime.

Rex had sharp fangs dripping with blood
Looked of fresh battle but smelled of old mud
I was as scared as scared could ever be
Knew one day Rex would catch up with me
I had to be brave to protect my maiden fair
Grabbed my sword and put on armor to wear
I knew that kill or be killed time had arrived
I must die so my only true love can survive

with changing the pool to Shark pool! I think everybody here swims fast enough. [It's only the last one in line that has to worry about getting eaten!] LoL

I’m a mosasaurus. Maybe T. Rex is a little to close to our pool here…I’ve seen that movie!

Knew one day Rex would catch up with me
I had to be brave to protect my maiden fair
Grabbed my sword and put on armor to wear
I knew that kill or be killed time had arrived
I must die so my only true love can survive
Thus girded, I stepped out to meet my foe.
When the beast roared, and its teeth did show;
I shuddered like a child, chilled to my bones, so
I thought of David; his three smooth stones–but
even so, my heart sank, my courage crumbled;
with the latches of my helm I fumbled, then,
as I shrieked and threw my sword away–
I glimpsed M’Lady’s face go ashy gray...
Now, I thought about running away
But I knew just what they would say
So I turned back around, grabbed the gun I found
And let loose with lead bullet spray
AR-15's are really quite mean
They spit out bullets in a big stream
So I finally got big old Dinosaur Rex
Went back to M'Lady and finished our sex!.

I also wonder if there will be any stranger ones, or will we get some straight-up stuff? I guess we will wait and see.
