I'm here because I am a poet and enjoy supporting other poets. With all the pleasure poetry brings me I find it also brings along the same amount of pain, fear, and confusion. There is this unexplainable rush I get when I write what I think is a good poem. I often chew the hell out of my fingernails or watch some really bad shows on TV when I am scared to death of a block and writing something awful. I love writing poetry, but sometimes I am my own worst enemy.
ANYWAYZ
that's my poetic life in a nutshell.
I love to keep in contact with people on this site who are kind of on the same boat. But really, I like sharing my poems and talking with anyone. Send me a message anytime about any old thing!
In writing,

I stumbled across this poem and I absolutely loved it.
The Whole Duty Of A Poem
A poem should be, as our best ever are,
Golden of heart like a rose or a star.
A poem should be, like the brook that you hear
Sing down the mountainside, lovely and clear.
Yet in its music a poem should hold
That which is felt but may never be told.
- Arthur Guiterman
