Hello! New here. I probably won't be on here much. Always been obsessed with reading poetry but only began writing quite recently as a way of dealing with some unfortunate things in my life at the mo. Ah well! Nice to meet you all!

Probably milling about the novice area. I don't think I'm up for the serious regions!

Hi and welcome. Even if you're not up to posting or critiquing in Serious, I highly recommend reading the poems and the critiques there. The critiques, for me, are a goldmine of an education.

Hope you enjoy the site.

Hi

I'm new in here but thought I'd drop in poem to start off...

and I thought I'd remove it, because this is not the place to put a poem.  Stick around, read the site rules and we'd be happy to see your work in the appropriate forums/ Admin

Welcome Bearsy and Helicon! I'm new as well. :^)

Welcome to all the newbies I've missed. I have your shackles ready, meet me by the jacuzzi.

Blatant prejudice! Many of us oldies deserve the same treatment.
While I remember that you like the red shackles (the ones with the sharp blue sequins),
this jacuzzi is quite newbie. So, yes, maybe you're right.

As sincere as always,

Helloooo folks. I'm a newbie. I monitor other writing boards and decided to expand elsewhere to supplement feedback on my writing and, hopefully, to find some pieces that interest me. I tend to love modern free-form more than anything else -- and I like Modernist and Imagist poetry -- Yeats -- anything good, really, with good poetry being the simple universal arbitrator for my palate.

Thanks.

Alan

"Good" is a big country (maybe a bit like the William Wyler film "The Big Country").
There are tens of thousands of acres out there and most people think they're standing
in the middle of it. Maybe PigPen can help you find yours.

Welcome

Yes, the jacuzzi is too blase for you...you deserve the dungeon where the skeletons are kept.

Don't tell anyone, meet me at 8:00---Bring the yak, I'll get the glue gun.

That damn blase is too yakuza for comfort. Don't you remember the yak hates the
dungeon and ends up explosively yak-pooing everywhere? Oh, right, of course you don't; those
drugs you gulp (cheap pharmaceuticals, mostly counterfeit) leave you drooling and blubbering
about Donny & Marie, and what's left of your previously tiny brain forgets even yak poo.

Bring the Australian ewe, she's pretty much been bred and trained for it.
See ewe there, 6 am; best to get an early start, lot to do.

As sincere as ever,

ray

And oh, yes, this isn't off topic as I'm extending a bounteous welcome and a
very special invitation to all you new members to join bena and I in PigPen's
primordial festivals. There's much to learn!

Welcome Black Geesus. I find it rather amusing that you added numbers to your screen name, as if there would be more than one!

Welcome BlackGeesus1234. The previous 1,233 BlackGeesuses proved worthy;
I hope you can remain true to their legacy.

I must warn you in advance that harsh-metal lyrics are not the forte of PigPen.
Poems about arousing umbrellas and fucking ewes, yes; but analogs of Metal
Church's "Merciless Onslaught"
will be ridiculed. (Though, technically, anyone
familiar with Metal Church would ridicule, laugh, puke, and plan their gruesome
death all at the same time without the aid of enhanced reality.)

Still, your time won't be wasted here as long as you are willing to supplicate
to the gods of PigPen and grasp resolutely to your sense of absurdity.
(Hmm, well, PigPen may not be so different from harsh-metal after all.}
{Though Metal Church still sucks donkey dicks.)

Hi, guru, welcome. You can put a link in your signature, elsewhere it's considered spam so I removed the link in your post.

Hope you enjoy the site.
