cheers glesgajohn

Hi This is a new one for me. We've had a member or two that were about 9/10 dead, but usually it's the living working with the living. I guess if you have enough interest in poetry to read a bunch of poems and offer some thoughtful comments in the workshops you could become a member. If you do I guess you could post one of your dad's in Poetry Discussion and see if people were interested in responding, the workshops are for people interested in editing their work, and I guess your father is pretty well done with that.

I'm curious as to what you hope to gain from this. Do you enjoy reading them yourself? I found what I think is the only sonnet my dad attempted right around the time I was learning to write them myself, it made me smile. just knowing he had an interest in trying it.

Oh, and hi, Jonsy, welcome to the pen.
