I hit my midlife crisis, bought the motor bike and electric guitar. Then got nostalgic and posted a couple of poems on Facebook for my friends as a look back at our youth. I received the feedback you would expect from friends and decided to look online, I took out names re-did the poems and posted them. That was two months ago. I joined one site and genuinely wanted to improve and be inspired by other people’s poems, I posted three of my FB poems and had smoke blown up my arse by all comments and this was the same for all threads. So I looked for pastures new and stumbled across the Pig Pen and how refreshing that was to find a site that offers support and helps you improve. Poetry is not something I will share readily so it’s great to have others review and critique with no fee, except the same by return. Balanced feedback is an art form that starts with an opinion. So as you can see my poetry still has a long way go, and I love the smell of this Pig Pen.
