... to say I am new and this site seems like it will do me a lot of good. Not sure how to describe myself. Have only started writing poetry seriously in the last two months. Not sure I have a style yet - still trying things on for size. Would appreciate constructive feedback. Look forward to getting to know some of you better.

Welcome, Lady T. Have fun. Enjoy.

I quite like your first posting, but I don't have time to comment in detail at the moment. I will later.

But don't forget to do your crits as well!

Cheers

Cheers, David. I did two crits before posting mine. Playing by the rules... :wink:

Hi LadyT,

I guess a bunch of us arrived at about the same time! Welcome (though I've been here only for a few days). I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

I took the suggestions and am not posting in beginners. I'm glad you read about haibuns. Mine is probably not a good example of the genre.

Cheers,
Elle

Hello to you too, ladyT. :) I also have just started writing again after a long hiatus. This really looks like a fine place to improve, eh? So let's settle in and get good (bravado, ftw)!!! :lol:

Hey, I go away for the long weekend and suddenly, it's going off. Nice to meet you all.

Gidday Ladyteazle,

a welcome to you from Australia.

Welcome LT.

Indeed, an influx!

Which is most excellent, I hope all you newbies stick around.

Only recently us regs have been bemoaning the lack of new talent, so get your poems out.

Nice.
