~ Lan Mandragoran - Wheel of Time series
- "You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long."

- Give what you have. To someone it may be better than you dare to think.

- The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
~ Longfellow
- Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.
~ Longfellow

My name is John and I am one of the Greeters here at AllPoetry . I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to this wonderful site. This is a great place to come and nurture your writing skills. There are many ways to do this: reading other poet’s work, entering into contests, joining classes and / or reading works from AllPoetry’s sister site www.oldpoetry.com .
As a new member, you will notice that you have a 4-day trial Preferred Membership. Once those four days are up, don’t worry, you will still be able to post your work, and comment on other’s work as well, you just won’t have the perks that a membership provides to you. If you are interested in maintaining your membership, you can purchase one from our Store.
We are an interactive community. To encourage participation, we ask that you comment on at least 4 poems for each 1 you post. Also, try to remember to keep returning the favor when you get a comment on your work.
