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.

There is a sweet aching vulnerability to strip away the artifice and stand still long enough to be seen. This is beautiful, Crimsin.

I don’t remember him having 4 arms. That is a cool public service announcement to stay away from fast food.

the 4 armed Grimace was only for like a year or two. Many complaints were coming in from parents that Grimace was scaring the shit out of kids watching those commercials. Thanks Fia.

Cleverly penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend. Sounds like Grimace and Cookie Monster would have a lot in common. lol. So he couldn’t get over as a heel? So they turned him baby! The four arms are kinda creepy, even by dropping “Evil” it still sounds like a heel name. Was the Hamburglar a heel too? Stealing hamburgers and such. I’m having too much fun with the wrestling lingo brother. Appreciate you.

HA! Hamburglar was always a heel. He was never gruesome or disturbed looking. One look at evil grimace was scary & unsettling for kids. I can see the similarities of Grimace & Cookie Monster. Totally. Thanks Damian for the fun reply back!

The “Evil Grimace” design definitely leaned into that exaggerated, bulky cartoon villain look. It wasn’t really about realistic body size so much as creating a goofy, over-the-top shape that kids would instantly recognize. What’s funny is how he eventually transformed from a four‑armed “evil” milkshake thief into the friendly, clumsy purple blob everyone knows today, one of the strangest character glow‑ups in fast‑food history. Big purple hug, my dear friend.
