"A poem is never finished, only abandoned." ~ Paul Valery
I joined AllPoetry a while back to read (and be able to comment on) someone’s poetry and ended up hooked myself. I have not posted much of my work so far, but only because I do not generally share work until I feel that it cannot benefit from what I call Poet Alone Time: time a poet spends with a piece to polish it until he does not think there is anything else that he can do for it. After PATing a piece, I will post it here, and hope to get critical feedback, the kind of feedback I generally offer.
I write when I feel the urge. I write, as do many of us, because I could not NOT write. It is both a joy and a frustration to me.
I believe in the power of hard work. I believe that poets are like cats. I believe I'll go to bed now.

Lo Justin on May 9, 2007Agreed. I appreciated your comments as part of the group critique anonymous, intelligent. I've been unproductive for over a year, but it's good to be writing, and reading, again.

lordoftherings on December 24, 2005I just stopped by today
Hope you are having a wonderful day
That's festive and really gay
Because I would have it no other way
Champagne at midnight...bootie call,
watch out for St. Nick, he ain't that tall
Drink moderately so you don't fall
And if you're quesy--lean against the wall
What started out as a little note
Became a poem the size of a boat
My head is medically afloat
My dog has now turned into a goat
Happy Holidays Gregg

InnerMe on August 28, 2005wow I completely agree with everything you say on your author's page. I find that I end up sugar coating alot of my comments of peoples poetry when in all truth, it is just not fair to them--- they think their poem is awesome but it might have some mistakes.
I have a friend on this site who only comments on poetry and doesnt post any. She gets ridiculed alot for what she does when in reality, she is doing nothing except for hurting their pride
I'll read your work sometime, it seems like you know what you are talking about
btw: you can rip up my poetry anytime you like! i really do like REAL critiques
