GDay I have to say many times I surf the net looking for places to park my poems and join in the conversation with others and I have found this site to be the best and most friendly ...just recently I joined a site and posted and commented all fine and good but NOBODY commented on any of my work NOTHING yet I posted comments on others...Sadly I spoke to the owner on their chatroom and she got real upity and told me to leave if I didnt like it well ...I did and i wont be going back there again...I have to admit it is a wonderful home feeling i get when I come here and the people who are regulars do their best to make newbies welcome ...for that I will always tell people about this site ...I also feel some here have good knowledge to encourage new writers in their writing growth so COME join our group post and become part of great community with wonderful potential a chance for me to learn through your throughput on my poems and a chance for me to assist with my megre knowledge on your poems( I have been writing for over thirty years and on one site have published over 1500 poems)...I look forward to a long relationship with all of you here at Poetry Junction ..so lets get in and make this a wonderful and real busy site...It has been slow but i have noticed many places are even slower many having their own little cliche groups ignoring Newbies...this is not what a good poetry site is all about..... it is about US helping each to develope our own unique styles in the form we love best...

stuart- I do applaud you on your great enthusiasm for life -you are probably a really fun person to be around- I'm used to a lot of negative nancy's around here- But -TRYIN to change that to get "ME" back - Keep up the good work -you're one of those people that changes lives- I've been sad lately...had to put my dog to sleep last monday-it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do ... I kept trying to go around it, I couldn't hold her when they did the second injection to stop the heart...It hurt to much...I've been crying a lot ..It doesn't feel like she's gone ya know? -i think im in denial sometimes...- Hope you are well- G-

I would just like to say that thanks to this site and all of your encouragement and feedback, I have been able to find my own style of writing and now looking back upon some of my older work, I can see how I have grown and how my writes have gone from simple peices trying to get each line to rhyme with the one previous, to much more personal style. I hate also recently discpovered that a way of releasing my uncontrolled emotions is through writing instead of doing it in a harmful way.
Thank you all!!
