Say "Hi" in this Thread

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 

Hmm... here's one to monitor closely. If we don't, next thing we know there'll be snakes under our cabooses.
Canada... they seem nice on the outside, but the isolation people are subjected to in the great-white-north is ideal
for producing antisocial personality disorders (psychopaths and sociopaths for us non-professionals).

@ cloud: Hating poetry is a good sign; everyone who starts life liking poetry always ends up writing shitty poems.
And speaking of delusion and self-loathing: You just gotta come over and add some of your dystopic words to the
witch's brew of PWoF  (the final thing ends up sitting on Halloween).

Hello everyone. I'm from New Zealand. This looks like a great group of serious-minded poets and I can see there are great workshops and guides that I'll certainly benefit from. I write Flash Fiction and short stories, as well as poetry - with poetry being my passion!

We're not all serious-minded. Seriousity kills creativity (and vice versa); poets from New Zealand, being so far under,
need especially to watch out for this. I'd recommend participating in the upcoming PWoF before it's too late for you.
And welcome!

Hey people how is going?! How was your time? I have u all doing good! And wish we will have a lot of fun here!

Thank the gods! Someone who isn't from Canada or New Zealand.
Welcome to this crucible of crazy wordage and you'd better participate in PWoF.
If you don't, I'll start spreading the rumor that you're actually from both Canada and New Zealand.
But really.. Welcome!
