Hi Hisimage, I have not been around and by the amount of E-Mails I haven't seen I am assuming no one else has been around either. I guess with the holidays everyone is busy. I was sick after Thanksgiving and then had to give up smoking. I didn't want to write with a pen but to put it through somebod...

I don't know Mae! that sounds just like a few acid trips I took!!!( a long, long, long, long, long time ago!

I like it a lot!

Hi and welcome.

I am a little late, but welcome, this is a great site, lots of support.

Your face will ebb in and out of my dream. your hand is there and then pulls away, inhibiting my desires, and breaking my heart, like crystal crashing to the floor. I wake up and tell myself it was not real, stung by icy tears and heart throbbing hard; even when you aren't here, you are the center o...

Jillstar, beautiful poem. And Mlou, how did you do that? Now i am going to have to work very hard to follow up on two really good poems

I like your poem

Thak you Mae, that does answer my question, and it does read better with it included. Bad habits are hard to break. I had to go back after writing it and take out all the caps.

I need help with punctuation. I never use much in poetry, it seems to get in the way of the flow. At the same time I don't want the poem to be raced through. This poem in particular, should be read slowlyto savour the different images. Thanks for any help.

"The Reader by Monet" She languishes against the mossy tree trunk her pale pink dress flowing out in drifts of satin with silvery patterns of light reflected from the sun her bonnet of rose colored flowers shadowing her face in part she looks down intently at the book in her lap, her hands resting g...

Now I am on to the next one, an object that speaks to me, in my immediate area. Wish me luck

I will keep that in mind about the caps. A blue moon is not actually blue, the old astrology books say it is when there are four moons in a season instead of three, newer books say it is when there are two moons in the same month. It is extremely rare, but it has occured. I had to look this up to wr...

If this had to be in yesterday, I apologize.

There is my poem on the moon It took me all evening and this morning to even come up with this.

Blue Moon
So unexpected
So Rare
Like a perfect diamond
Or Peace
For just one day
Like Lovers
That last forever
Or Grief
You never have to feel
Or Tears
You will never cry
Feeling Life
Is always fair
Blue Moon
So Unexpected
So Rare

Mae, I really liked your poem. I am trying to come up with one now.

GO YOU

Thank you all for the warm welcomes :D I was reading post from other newbies, and being taken seriously is not my problem, my problem is my husband takes me serious, he just wants me to make money at it ](*,) I have not narrowed down what I want to write. I like poetry, fiction writing, and article ...

I figured out the quote part, thanks anyway.

I also wanted to ask if I am putting my quote in correctly? Is there a way for the quote to come up each time I post, or do I have to type it in each time? Thanks again for the help

If I want to start a blog do I just go to that forum and post like a new thread? Thanks for the help.
