poetry envy?

After reading Poeticus' rave reviews of the Denver/Boulder
poetry scene, I'm wondering why we don't have anything
like that in a city the size of Dallas. It's not just the fact that
we have no venue here that features poetry three times a
week. From the way P tells it, the atmosphere in the Den/Bo
scene seems friendlier, more populous, and basically more
energized than the DFW community.

What do we need to do to make that happen here? Does our
poetry scene need a kick in the ass, or what?
