There's a story that's just been posted to a list I'm on which included in its warnings:

non-consensual, poetry

Only, I didn't see the comma at first and thought she was warning for non-consensual poetry. Which made me think of tying people down and reading Whitman to them...

For him I sing,
I raise the Present on the Past,
(As some perennial tree, out of its roots, the present on the past:)
With time and space I him dilate--and fuse the immortal laws,
To make himself, by them, the law unto himself...

Well, some poetry is scary and needs to be warned for (particularly schmoopy pseudo-intense poetry as written by teenagers) so I guess there's some justification for that, along the same lines as the 'cutting hair' warnings on Sentinel fic? ;)

That's true.
