Hi, fuzz! Welcome to the place and loving words, fellow young-ish person. :-)

Looking forward to reading your works!

To you as well Lydish. I've read your "Caesar" poem several times already. I adored it.

Thanks Fuzz, for the praise and critique! Just left one for you on Intuition, which I really enjoyed.

Hi everyone.
You can call me Seivarden or Dan. I'm very new to poetry, mostly having written prose until now. This actually links up to my reason for being here. I intend to write a series of poems as chapter titles for my novel, and I'd hate to do an embarrassing job. I may lurk quite a bit at first just to get those beginner principles anchored in me, but I hope to gain an active critical understanding, apply it, and submit my own work soon.

Hey guys!
I go by Alex and I'm pretty new to forums. I've only started flirting with writing poetry my junior year in high school, but I really got into it my senior year. Now I'm off to college. Hoping I can be of any help to all on this forum and I'm most excited to share what I've been writing and better it. Thanks!

Anyone who says "hey guys" should commit suicide.

Hey, you, I say that, not suicidal in the least, too indecisive

Hello, Alex. Welcome to the site. Don't listen to Sam Penman. He created the Blue Whale challenge.

hi Alex, welcome, listen to sam but ignore it

[ClaireLou]

Noooo i have been adding my comments, my poetry without saying hello, that will teach me to barge in with both feet.  My Mum always says listen before you step, or in this case read the other threads before you step

Hello All, I am looking forward to learning, to reading & being part of a community that cares about poetry.

[ellajam]

Hi, Claire, lovely to have you here, dig in . This site has helped me read and write at a new level, I hope you have the same experience.

And no better way to start than by jumping in.

Hello, I hated poetry in school. It wasn't raw enough. This might be a fun outlet for me.

Hi, I'm a 21 year old from Canada. 
I like to do fun things like write poetry whilst drunk, as I reckon a drunk mind reveals a sober heart.

I never liked poetry from a young age, but things have changed. I've been through existential periods in my life in which my only form of release was to write down how I felt at the moment. That's really all I had, as I wouldn't reach out to anyone for help. Writing became a form of catharsis for me, otherwise I'd go insane from all the racing thoughts in my head. 

I love melancholic writing, and everything dark. Never trust a happy song
