			<description><![CDATA[Good morning, Pig Pen Poetry!<br />
<br />
So lovely to be among you all!<br />
<br />
I am Jess! 21 years of age, and a hobby writer. I greatly enjoy poetry, and am hoping to not only grow my skills in writing it but connect with others who hope to do the same! Sharing is good for your soul, and one of my favorite things in the world!<br />
<br />
Aside from writing, I enjoy mostly outdoorsy things. Hiking and fishing are easily at the top of the pole, but I also love cartoons and collecting trinkets! I am the least shy person I know, and have been accused of being a social butterfly many times.<br />
<br />
 That is to say: please do not be afraid to reach out! I can't wait to meet you!!!  <img src="https://www.pigpenpoetry.com/images/smilies/bighug.gif" alt="big hug" title="big hug" class="smilie smilie_149" />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello! I was a long time user over on another poetry forum, but have decided to share more broadly. August, I was kidnapped. After two months of captivity, I escaped, but all of my possessions were stolen and so was my identity. Recently, my car was vandalized and towed. I had been speaking out against local corruption when these real life events happened, and I suspect it was related. I am currently living in a tent. I recently found out I was intersex by way of pregnancy, and am about four months along. I have health issues and don't know if I'll make it through the birth given my unique biology. I have a website with my writing partner, Acklum, where I've offered my previously available catalogue of poetry online for free known as Tenacious Poets: <a href="https://tenaciouspoets.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://tenaciouspoets.wordpress.com/</a><br />
After about a month off of writing while trying to pick up my life, I hope to share poetry online again soon!]]></description>
