Hi. Thought I would try something new. I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with my writing, but I am an artist that is looking for a new craft to experiment with and see where it takes me.

[Expendable Youth.]

I've come here from the Deep Underground Poetry site, I've heard a lot of positive attributes to this site, no bullshit trolling, proper critique, and a stronger order, more authority in the forums of pigpen in comparison to deep underground. I've come here to improve my writing, and I'll be sure to contribute and comment on others shit and not expect to have everything handed to me.

Anyway, my name is Evan.

Hi,

My name's Luke. I am a professional writer, but news articles and technology blogging.

While it pays the bills it is not of course my passion as a writer. I typically write prose but naturally started to think I could cut it as a poet. I expect nothing here other than a kick up the ass, to be around like minds, and to realise there are a million people better than me.

I am Welsh but live in the great city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Welcome Evan, Luke, Anna -- please feel free to poke around as much as you like, drop some comments, pick some up, that sort of thing. We're a workshop here and fairly small, so while you won't get millions of comments on your poems there's a good chance that they'll be of substance.

Don't poke milo, he's very ticklish and tends to squirt.

You are Welsh and you want a kick up the ass? Go figure . . .We have added a type of short fiction method as well, if youare interested in sharing that.

[Koidulaulik]

Howdy! I'm Koidulaulik, "Singer of Dawn" in Estonian, yet I'm not English, nor Stater, nor Estonian I'm 20 (OMG 20 already! I'm feeling oldie) and I study tourism. I started writing poetry when I was 16, and some day I realised that English was a more suitable language for me, for I didn't feel confortable with my mother thongue. I hope to post some of my writings up here and to learn from you all. I signed up here because, truly, there's really little poetical life in my country, which upsets me to death and makes me look like a damn freak amongst my classmates. I don't know how to enclose myself poetically; I'm kind of a "romantic goth" with nietzschean and realistic touches in my life, so I think my poetry must be sort of. My favourite writer is Henrik Ibsen (Deep Hell, he opened my eyes more than my teachers and far more than my parents) and my favourite poet... Lydia Koidula could be, and I also really appreciate Adam Oehlenschläger. My two favourite poems could be "Mítt alfagra Land" from Símun av Skárdhi and Det er et yndigt Land from Oehlenschläger, or also Ta lendab mesipuu poole from Juhan Liiv. I think that languages are no barriers for poetry, they just need a translation, because any language can appear beautiful to ear and be musical and enchanting. I am not planning to become a professional writer, at least not in my country, I just write in silence, hidden and forgotten, looking a respectable bourgeois outdoors and being a complete hedonist indoors, with orange brandy and Cuban tobacco . Well, I leave it here. Through my writings I'll get more clear about myself. Cheers to everybody

Hello! I wanted to re- introduce myself. I was on so little before the period of about a month I wasn't on at all that I'm feeling brand spanking new again. Im here to better myself as a writer and a critiquer alike. Plus its cool to have a place to talk about poetry with other developing ( or developed) writers. Hello everyone!
