I can respect a workplace that bans humour - stuffs only good for lightening up what should be the burden of work.

Trust me, there is nothing funny on that site and it will put you in the appropriately miserable frame for a full day of odious work.  please see your Administrator.

I am new to the forum and new to poetry.

I am a scientist seeking to keep in touch with my creative side. I've been thinking of writing poetry for a long time and have finally decided that the time is right to try and see what people think. Have left my first three critiques and I look forward to receiving feedback on any work that I post in the near future.

Catch you soon!

TJT.

Writing good poetry, myths be damned, requires logical thought and rational thinking.
What better preparation than an understanding of scientific methods and the gaining of the
discipline necessary to practice them?

I am new to the site so hello posters and hello thread.

I used to write poetry when I was a teenager and only when I was super emotional in some way. I just started a Creative Writing class while pursuing my English degree and remembered how great of an outlet writing poetry was for me. So, here I am...

Hi, welcome to the site. A good place to start is by reading the guildelines and Important Threads for each forum, there's a ton of info there and you'll get a feel for the place. Hope you enjoy it.

There are a lot of super-emotional creatively-written English teenagers here.
(That avatar of billy's was taken years ago, he's at least 15.)

When those English English professors assign you a novel, read poetry instead; it's shorter, more
instructive, and failing to get an English degree will be the best career move you've ever made.
Welcome Smile

Finally! Someone regards me as adult. In my bio on that site, I posted pre-op and post-op photos
of my sex-change operation. This has gotten my site listed as a xxx one. I've considered taking them
down, but if I did I'd loose 90% of my site hits (the other 10% being search engines).

It's hard being an adult, billy.  Just you wait, you'll see.

And that "poems-and-quotes" site... I did my duty: I posted some "love this, wonderful poem" critiques.
I now rate 5 stars as a critiquer as someone seems to have voted for me. So take that milo!

I fell in love with a poem from that site:
She sits in silence unable to talk,
but her eyes scream out the truth
for only her mirror to see.

Black tears trickle down
with the pain of the past and the
aftermath of what's still to come.

Her lips sealed tight with an
invisible glue which was forced
on them so many years ago.

Declined access to the future
and rejected by the present,
leaves her lost inside her past.

Tonight the silence screams
as her heart explodes
like a firework lighting the sky.

Silence screams suicide,
but only the reflection in her mirror
will see this through her lifeless eyes.

Hi everyone. I was here for a while a couple years ago. Hope everything's cool. I'm very introverted, so after a time of being out there, I tend to shy away. 

Anyway, hello!  Thumbsup

I'm a sucker for reading old threads (practice, NaPM, discussion) so though we didn't overlap I've enjoyed your posts. Glad to have you back, hope you feel free to jump in wherever you're comfortable. ella Smile

Thanks for the welcome back. I would do something useful, but my cat ate my rhyming dictionary; then my dog ate my cat; then my wife ate my dog; then I ate her. So nothing doing, mister.
