Hello from a poet of sorts

Hi all,
I’m a poet of dubious stock. I have dabbled in writing poetry on and off over the years with no great ambition to get published. The enjoyment for me is in the writing, reading and sharing. All critical feedback is welcome and I’ll try my best give useful feedback. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and/or responds to my posts

This is a great self-introduction, MB. Welcome. I hope you find something to your taste here.
Cheers
David
P.S. I hope you get some other welcomes too but, even if you don't, I think you'll find that they're not an unwelcoming lot here.

Yes, welcome MB. You will definitely get feedback on your writing. All feedback is subjective, poetry is an art not a science, but hopefully some will be helpful - that is your decision, after all the poems are your voice!
cheers
Mac

Thanks for the welcome David and Mac, I appreciate you dropping in to say hello.
The boards are a little quieter than I expected but it is holiday season and I prefer quality to quantity so I'm quite happy.
The feedback I have received so far has been very helpful. I agree that poetry writing is an art... I wonder if we would say the same thing about review writing.
There could be a gap in the forum market for critiquing critiques.

Hi Mirrorball.
Welcome.
Nice to see you around.
You will get some friendly, constructive feedback here.
Some of course you may not agree with but it is all offered in a take or toss way.
We're all here to help each other.

Thanks, there's some great feedback to be had, one of my poems has already had the 'Pauline' treatment, which was a great honour and very helpful

Phew.
So please you weren't offended by my fiddling with your poem.
I'm rubbish at critique.
It's easier for me to rearrange words rather than explain what I feel works and doesn't for me.
