Action Poetry is where LitKicks has been inviting poets and wannabe poets — that is, everyone — to share short verses in public for review and response for the past ten years.
It’s an unpretentious and friendly poetry board, but remarkable poems do show up here often. Every December between Christmas and New Years, we put up a randomized display of many of the favorite poems from the past year. Here, for your clicking pleasure, is Action Poetry 2011.
See you next year!

The Light By Silas was my favorite of 2011…but this thing reminds me of all the great poetry that was written in the past year…I think mickeyz should get an award for being the most prolific…him and terry collet were turning out poems like mad poets that they are! Also, I really enjoyed hypcollector’s responses, he is always on point…..thanks for doing this again, Levi, cheers to the next year of great poetry!

Wow…I can press buttons and read myself. Quite a vending machine.

Levi, I think since the Romantic and Symbolist movements, poetry has become an under-rated genre, even though it’s so beautiful, lyrical, expressive and densely rich in meaning. Thanks for doing your part in keeping this genre alive for our times in this active Action Poetry community. Happy new year/La multi ani to you and all the Litkicks contributors and readers!
