Hello!

[jisbell00]

Hello, I'm John Isbell. I'm new to this forum (and a bit excited) but not new to poetry, I have lots of it. Is it any good, you ask? And that I can't answer, really. I spent some years as a language professor in the US before retiring last year, which leaves me more time to work on my verse.
A friend encouraged me to come say hi at Prole Art Threat, so i thought I'd do just that.

Cheers,
John

Hello John. Delighted to see you here. Look forward to reading your work.

All the best

Phil

Thank you, Phil! I'll go ahead and have a go at posting then. I have a piece I'm working on just now.

Cheers,
John

John!

I'm a bit excited too, as is Word-Bird (^v^), but we'll all try to control ourselves. Happy you're here and reunited with MacPhil, hooray. I'm just popping in during my lunchbreak, but I'll return later

Best wishes,
Fliss

Greetings, Fliss and Word-Bird!

And so, we meet again! Our paths are evidently fated to cross. I look forward to seeing you in a bit.

Cheers,
John

Greetings, John! Yay! (^v^)

Yes, meeting again, why not. There's probably a poem in that; but for now, here's a drink

Cheers!

Hi Fliss,

I think there very likely is a poem in that!

By weird coincidence, I drank a beer yesterday for the first time in a couple of months - perhaps the one you sent my way?

Cheers,
John

Yes, precisely that beer! Cheers indeedy
