Thanks. I get mixed opinions with the domain name. Some like it, some not so much. The initial idea was along "Poe3, Poetry by 3 people".

One reason I like it is that it is very short. Even with random alphabets, four letter domains are hard to come by. eg: www.poe3.com/123 (123rd poem), www.poe3.com/jeswin (my profile).



What is the philosophy behind the idea of 3 people writing a poem? To my knowledge no famous poem has ever been written that way.


This is mostly targeted at casual users. More than making great poems, it might be about the social, collaborative aspect of writing something. Actually various forms of poetry (haiku, free verse..) aren't the only options available, I also added "Six word story" as an option.
