TexanPhoenixShow poetry

My poetry tends towards the dark side of things, with rarely a glimmer of humor.  Much of it stems from depression--I've been diagnosed with moderate depression--and all the ponderings I have on the subject.  Lately I've been tending towards more spiritual or imagistic poetry, correlating with my growth in my path (Kemetic pagan).  

Besides poetry, I also love to write stories and journal-type essays.  I especially enjoy writing (and reading) fantasy stories.  I like to roleplay, ride horses, kayak, and play video games. I'm currently majoring in psychology at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, considering a possible minor in some sort of field of English (though that may happen by default with all the writing courses I'm taking...!).

    Wow. You like the Redwall series a lot. I just started with the series. I've only read two books and enjoyed them very much. I hope to read and learn more of that world from Brian Jacques and you in the future.

    Welcome to AllPoetry TexanPhoenix! We sincerely hope that you enjoy your time spent here and make full use of all of our features.

    We are an interactive community here at AP. We encourage all poets here to comment as much, if not more than, as you read and write. Comments are a big help to everyone. When you leave comments on other peoples work, it gives them feedback on how to improve their writing and makes them want to return the favor. It also gives you points which are used for starting challenges and promoting poetry.
    You can also gain points by winning contests that you enter. You can enter any contest that is ‘open’ and when you win, you get points and a cool trophy that goes on your page.

    We have preferred and uber memberships which you can purchase by clicking on the ‘store’ tab. You have been given a free trial of the ‘preferred’ status to try out. They have some kickin features such as custom backgrounds and the ability to put a picture on your author page and poems.

    Over to the right is the chatterbox. That is a neat little nook where you can talk to all the other poets who are online. We also have an IM system that you can use to leave a message with one who is offline. Please do not use the chatterbox for promoting though please.

    You will find that we have a lot of genres of poetry to choose from, which is perfect for us, since we poets tend to be an emotional bunch. We have poetry here to fit every mood. If you just click on the ‘poems’ tab in the top, left corner, you will be directed to a set of tabs for every genre so you can find one to fit your current mood.

    If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me (my info is on my author page) or a moderator. Those are the ones whose names appear in blue.

    Once again, welcome to our family !
