Thank you! I'm on infrequently. Life has been keeping me busy. You have been very sweet in welcoming me - thanks.

Welcome Una! Keep on writing and reading and reading and writing.....

Thank you. I have just read your new poem. Powerful to say the least. In fact i will be reading it again in a minute. You are very good.

Welcome Una, to Lit's fun and oft times fractious community. I see so much raw talent in your writing and hope to see many more offerings of yours as well as being allowed to enjoy the privilege of watching you evolve and develop.

While you're writing, also take the time to read the many good offerings there are here from such as annaswirls, Sara Crewe, TheRainMan, saldne, Wanton Vixxxen, cymry, Wicked Eve, Angeline, My Erotic Trail, bluerains, and the list goes on and on.

Welcome to the Poetry Forum, UR. Much can be learned here if you do not take a lot of it too seriously. That goes for the advice as well as the barbs, jabs, and insults too!

One piece of advice that is often repeated to new poets (and that is because it is true) is to keep reading as well as writing. I recommend at least three times as much reading as writing for a young novice. - Learn what you like before you try to write it.

A second good practice is not to rush a poem to submission. Rather, set a new poem aside for up to a month or more. Leave it alone until you can read it with an unbiased eye, that is until you can look at it as you would look at a work that you had not written. If then you see nothing that you want to change, it is ready to meet the public, but probably not before.

I would like to welcome you as well.

 

[Angeline]

Welcome to the poetry forum. You're a brave one to start a thread after all the arguing here of late. I'm glad you did.

Stick around, post in the threads and join the contests. Like LeBroz said, this can be a fractious place, but everyone here shares your love of poetry and writing.

I have to agree absolutely. I read a lot - poetry i have always been very interested in - and have read for pleasure. Lately i tend to take much more time studying the detail in a poem, the style etc, than merely content and words. Thank you for the names. I will certainly look at them all.

welcome.

Thank you!

Thank you for the good advice. All of what i have submitted was written many years ago. I tend to pasturise - go back - get more distance - sometimes i have up to 12 drafts of the same poem. And then i start again if i have to. I feel the basic "design" is so important.
