Communal Art?

Though I've long resisted Livejournal, MySpace and other online addictions, I think it'd be nice to have a little, unrestricted, blog that some of my friends could visit. My thoughts on this are pretty unformed at this point (hence unrestricted) but I'll likely use it for the stray poem, dream retelling, and artistic query. Really what I'd like is for a group of my friends to engage in a sort of artistic trade-off (e.g. draw a picture, respond with a poem). Maybe I'll open this blog up with a community password or maybe we can start a private message board. Any ideas?

What I don't want this to become is a place of unrefined complaint or a tense arena for political debate, though both are veritably poetic. I'd just like to keep this relaxed and private (meaning no linking unless invited to - something I can't control but would appreciate).

Opuscule

The Lion's Tooth and Opuntia stand oppositively.
Oppilating them, a penguin.
He finds he's between either side of an opisthograph,
representing sea and sky, grace and flight,
and he shifts his oocyte optatively.

To be an opportunist, O!
