Just as an aside, I am cricketjeff because I know of seven different Jeff Greens and usually when I get to a website someone has beaten me to the gun, but Jeff is who I am!

 

  A Happy Git

I for one am glad to have known
A poet named Jeff for I have grown
He's taught me ways to write my words
And how to rhyme with things like birds

A lovely man in waistcoats bright
His rhyming words are pure delight
He'll always be a friend so true
And cheer me up when I feel blue

Upon his gravestone should be writ
"Here lies our Jeff, a happy git"
Have a smile, don't shed a tear
He'll be back with more, I fear!

I have found on this site some wonderful friends and great poets, have a look in on them:-

 

PassionsPromise, the queen of erotic writing, and a marvellous poet in many other genre, she can put more emotion into a few lines than anyone else I know.

Eusebius, writes Petrachan sonnets to die for and in many other forms, all with pluperfect rhyme and meter

Amera, writes forms, all forms now even including free verse! And she writes them all well. Her writing showed me it was worth exploring classical forms not just writing what sounded OK, I shall always be grateful for that!

Dalaney The best free verse poet alive.
