I used to post somewhere else At a rinky-dink poetry place The poets talked amongst themselves Bluntly said my poems were a waste I tried everything to improve Welcomed their sincere advice But they bashed my style Tellng me to get a life Maybe they were just jealous Or trying to get me mad Whatever the case may be I thought that site was a drag Then one day, I was minding my business I got an email from Jen I was like "What is this"? She mentioned piptalk so I grabbed my pen Everyone here was so sweet Sharing their heartfelt poems And many talented poets I did meet Thus, passions became my home Thank you Temptress for referring me to passions! |

  (smiles) Oh Joanna, this is wonderful, sweet friend, ooohhhhhhh...I'm so happy Jennifer showed you this place, if not for her I would have never fallen in love with you and had a wonderful best friend who writes such gorgeous words! (kisses) Never listen to what those other poetry people said about your work, you are a true delight in my heart! I love you my Shakira Gwenevere!

Oh Rose, the feeling of belonging is so very important and it's important you raise the subject of snobbish cliques,vanity and favoratism, something that poetry forums should strive to avoid especially when attracting new poets.Keep up those good writes and hope you're enjoying the summer  |

Robert Frost was told that he too had no talent to write and look where he ended up!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is definitely the best on the web and it does feel like home. When I came in here I KNOW I wasn't very good, but I do know that with all the encouragement I have gotten within these walls, I have learned and grown as a poet and a person. Wonderful writing and good cadence in your work. Much enjoyed. |

 I can't help but smile when I think of how you got here. lol..I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you've found some wonderful people and support here for your work. I always have a feeling about who would love it here. I thought that you would. Adorable explanation poem, Sweetie. Its good to have you around. ((Hugs)) How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
