i can not do that - i remove poems and add poems all the time
-
-
well, do you have your 1st write? or at least a very early write? and then you can enter ANYTHING new, write a fresh write or just choose a newer write. i'd loooove it if you entered.
-
-
well i just posted a new poem. and ahve added an old one already.
-
-
yay thank you! and good luck.
-
ap stores all old poems you have deleted. go on your account and they should all be there. even your very first one : ) hope this helps x
-
-
but my first poems written i wrote before i came to this site, ten years or so before. so how can they save those!
-
-
ah that might be a problem! : )
-
-
and i am aware of the site with storing things but... it seems one can not get to them unless you go around the hosues fifteen times which i am not prepared to do.
-
-
the first one you posted on here is really what i want, because that way i will be able to see how far you've come since this site, not just since you started writing.
-
-
but the first one i posted here if i could even recall which poem it was is no longer here. i take and add all the time, the earliest poem of mine in the site at the moment is called 'the silent passion of creation' written around 1992 93
-
-
but without being bigheaded here, i was already a published writer and classed myself as a good writer before i came to this site, and most of the foirst poems i posted here were poems i had in file ready to psot. though this site is a lovely site - it does not make or break poets i was on the road to where i was going before this was created.
-
-
-
-
this site has helped me a LOT; because I have read so much more poetry than I used to, learned so much more about writing, developed my own personal style; I wouldn't have been able to do that without this site encouraging me and giving me new poets to read.
-
-
i love this site i live here it does help people and it has helped me, don't get me wrong, i am not saying i am great i don't need this site, for it has helped me grow too even though i was writing before i arrived here, it has helped me hone my skills. i promote this sitre all over the internet. my laterst venture is on twitter

It's amazing how most poets in this site made progress.
Whenever I look at my oldest poem, I cringe and then smile-
cringe that it was the crudest write I've ever penned
but I smile because I know that I've grown(writer-wise
).
Anyway, definitely bookmarking; good luck with the contest
-
-
Thats exactly how I feel :] I remember writing my first write and then getting all excited because I was soooo proud of it. Thats how I found this site. Now, even though I know I'm not that great, I'm proud of how much I've improved
I hope you enter! And thank you.

-

-
Wow... my first write was entered a looooooong time ago... but I think it's still here. I would absolutely love to enter this, and I have a poem I was going to post today anyway so I will enter it as a new write to this contest
Buuuuutttt... I might just pick something else out... hmmmm... -

Thank you for hosting a great contest and for the HM. It's always interesting, and quite humbling, to go back to our older poems and see the evolutions we've made, often in spite of ourselves. Congratulations to all who entered. Be well, Poets and Scribes.
