Say "Hi" in this Thread

[rayheinrich]

I suppose this is where I am to introduce myself. 

My name is John.

I hope here that some fellow poets, though I hazard I don't become the title very well,
will help me better my poems. I have been writing for some time yet, but most of my
poems are not all too good. Thank you for helping out!

I've read your first two critiques: Well done! One more and you get a hug.
You're the kind of member we cherish.

You said: ... "most of my poems are not all too good"
Well, welcome to the club; most of everybody's poems are not all that good.
That's what PigPen is about*: Learning to reduce the number of "not all that good" 's.

*That and having fun with this thing some call "English" (not to be confused
with "British", a malformed derivative, the product of being isolated on a rather bleak little
island slightly to the west of real civilization. Hopefully you're not a current resident; but if so,
I congratulate your success at overcoming great odds. [Australia, though much larger {chiefly
the result of vast areas of desert} is derived from these roots. Their advantage, if it can be
called that, is that they're all descended from criminals and ne'er-do-wells. This circumstance
has granted them, by Darwin's fierce code of natural selection, a certain yeasty creativity
which lends itself to the creation of poetry.])
