Poetry Forum

Hi All

i am new to peotry and this forum. I love reading and have always wanted to write. I did a writing course many years ago but think I expected too much and never started again. Every year around this time i decide this is the year but I never do anything about it. This year I was browsing some websites and became attracted to the poetry on there. I had never considered writing poetry (probably because I don't read much of it) but for some reason decided to give it a go and I've really enjoyed it. I think it's the fact that I've actually completed something.

I've posted a couple of reviews rather nervously. I think it actually helped me to think more about poetry as I had to read it carefully - hopefully that will help me with my writing.

Looking forward to chatting with people and reading more poems.

Hello, karalma, and welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.

Reading is good. Lots more reading! It helps with the writing.

Cheers

Welcome

A very perceptive comment that reading with a view to critting helped you in your writing. I agree with that.

Hello Karalma

Nice to here from you.

Even though you gave up on the writing coarse it must still have worked as I understood the whole of your introductory!

Looking forward to reading your poetry.

Angus
