When did you get your pussy pierced, Ray?

There we go again, talking about our pussies when we should be
greeting our cherished newcomers.

I want to apologize for an egotistical assumption I've been making.
To wit:
Not all of you wonderful people are abecedarians; some of you are
mature, sophisticated, skillful writers looking for a place
that takes poetry seriously. A place where criticism isn't
vacuous blandishment; but an honest, intelligent analysis
of our art.

Welcome, you have found a home.

As sincerely as ever,
Ray





Though, to be honest, many of you have pussies and are,
most appropriately, fond of sharing the joy of having one
with friends, colleagues, casual acquaintances, siblings,
family pets, and the occasional door.

So let us not ignore this sublime creation of the gods:

Asked, obviously, by someone who's never had a pussy.

Pussies aren't the pierced, they are the piercers and the gods have
endowed them with extremely sharp teeth* for this very purpose.
Obviously, a pussy is not something to fuck around with.

But, when handled properly, they become a pleasurable source of
amusement and, most importantly, love.

But let me tell you a few things about my cute little pussy.
My pussy likes to play with balls, though some find it rather
annoying that she likes to bite and chew them. My pussy loves
to be petted and rubbed and has the cutest tiny pink nose.

Of course, like all things in life, having a pussy is not all fun.
It gets rashes in hot weather, it smells like fish every once-
in-a-while, curly black hair gets hairballs (especially when it
gets stuff stuck in it), and, if I'm not careful, when it comes
in close contact with dogs it can get fleas. Damn dogs!

But those are minor problems considering how much I love
my pussy. What about your pussy?

Hello everyone,

my name is Šimon (which is the very obvious Slovak equivalent of the English Simon), I will let you guess what the PK stands for. I´m from Slovakia (obviously), do love English though, poetry as well. It is a challenge to write in a language which is not your mother tongue, but a good challenge, and since many rules are universal, I find this site helpful. Already read through the basic information about posting and feedbacking.

Hi, Simon, welcome and thanks for the critiques you've left for others.

Poetry is a challenge in any language, that's the fun of it for me, I hope you enjoy the site.

we wish all newbs were as courteous, just read some your feedback and must say so far you're an asset to the site. welcome to the pen

Thank you, I hope I will make a good contribution and also get some benefits. Really appreciate the rules, the seriousness yet not puritanism (no offence anyone) and (so-far-appearing-to-be) caring and competent admins.

Hey there. Nice to see anothe non-native English speaker. What language do you actually speak in Malaysia as the official, and whats your mother tongue, if I may ask?

Hi. I'm new to the site. Just starting to poke around a bit, but looking forward to reading some work and providing/getting feedback.

Thanks,
sf

hi superfluid, and welcome to the pen!

Welcome to the newbies I haven't met yet (yet met?).

what she said :J:

Greetings and willkommen.

The term 'Non-native English speaker' is wonderfully ambiguous.

The Brits on here sometimes claim us Texans (inhabitants of the state of
Texas in the U.S.A.) are  non-native English speakers. I tend to agree
with them. Not being a 'native speaker' gives one some unique insights
not available to the natives who've forgotten they live in an aquarium.

From the linguistic point of view, the "Texas English" is just a variety of a specific system of speech symbols and rules governing them named "English", as is the RP/BBC/Qeen´s English, the Cockney etc. English was the language you learned as your first language and the language you spoke with your parents. For me, this is very different. I have learned English as my second language (or, so to say, first foreign language) at school, and I am doing English and American Studies as Major at Uni. (German as minor),

Anyway, Welcome, Willkommen, Vitajte (slovak) to all newcomers.

Vitajte is a lovely word, thanks.

it is "welcome" 2nd person plural imperative., pronounced somehting like ['vee-tahy-te], the first syllable like VI in vicious, the second like THAY in the muay-thay and the third one something close to the TE in television.

Silent j? It just softens the syllable?

it is the "y" sound as in yo-yo or yoghurt.

Hi Gray, welcome. This site is a great place to get an education, I've learned tons here.

Try the home page link to Colin Ward's Poetry Tips, The poetry Practice Forum here and the critique tip threads on the home page of each workshop.

Remember, this is a workshop site, people post here to improve. Please make sure your comments work towards that goal, "Gave me goosebumps!" will just get deleted without a strong specific critique.

Hope you enjoy the site.

Hello and welcome!

There is lot´s that can be learned here. Do read the basic information threads, they give quite much for a starter, and can make you wiser without actually posting anything or receiving feedback. We look forward to your crtiques and poems.
