You made me laugh. Thank you for reading. To be honest, I’m testing the waters. As a newbie, I’m not sure exactly how explicit I can get. I’m sure there’s a rule/guideline here I’ve missed somehow.

Thanks, Damian. I appreciate the read.

Thank you so much, for the kind words and the welcome!

Thank you my brother!

Thank you for your very generous comment, and I sure do appreciate the love here so far… I feel very welcomed. Most of my scribbles aren’t nearly as crafted as this one, but I have a great feeling about this site that that will be just fine.

If I may, I am going to wax poetic (or maybe not exactly poetic) for a bit.
My first online poetry website I joined in 1996, and stayed there until it closed in 2007. Oh, how I love that place.
After that I went to a brand new site, which was great, but all the awesome connections, y’know, people disappear over the years, the userbase got so INSANELY big that it didn’t feel like much of a community anymore.
A dearest friend of mine, M.E., shared a poem he posted here with me, and I poked around a bit, and I was, like, YES, this is the kind of poetry site I remember from all those years ago. I’d just deleted my account at this other place, sick of drama, and with it over 8,000 poems of mine.
With just this, my VERY first poem here, I feel the love.
Thank you so much Willow, and the others… I feel like I’ve come home, though it’s to a place I JUST discorved existed.
I’ve got some thing going on (complicated), but soon I’m very much looking forward to returning the favour of reading and commenting on others work in a place with a small enough userbase that I’ve got a feeling it’s not about “trading likes” or looking for that dopamine hit, but just a love a poetry.
Thank you for you EXTREMELY generous comments, and your welcome to me. I’m smiling for the first time in quite a while, truly.
