Hi all,

My name is David and I've recently come into the ways of writing poetry. I am a student at college and currently stusdy the life sciences. I take English at a low level but I have decent skills in the ways of understanding technique.

I write poetry mainly as a release for feelings I build up over a period of time as I am generally quite a reserved person.

Anyway I hope to make a couple like minded friends here and look forward to both helping others and being helped myself.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope your day/night is a pleasant one.

Hi David,

Life sciences is good - I enjoy trying to shoehorn science into poetry. Have a read of the poetry here, and let people know what works (and what doesn't) for you. Welcome!

Welcome, David. I think you'll find out pretty quickly that being called David is pretty much a requisite for writing any decent peotry.
