Hello, Poets of Passions, I'm new here I posted my first poem with great fear In the hope that you would see The me behind my poetry First in secret, I quietly read And let the names and words fill my head I never thought that I would post For my words were nothing of which to boast But I saw how others were welcomed with glee And I thought, "That could be me! I could be the one welcomed by Nan or deVine" And so to post, I had made up my mind Now, a name to put with my words of pen One that was different, how about Sven? Or Startime, athena4, or raleighbttrfly? Maybe I could write the words that would make you cry I took a deep breath and began to type This was the first poem I was to write Hit the "Submit" button when I was done Would this poem be liked, would it be "the one"? You read my words, and a warm welcome gave Gave my words power and made me feel brave It was then I knew I was no longer alone It was then, my friends, I knew I'd found home --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, your so right,a place to open your heart without fear, a place to let all the words pour like rain from your pen, I loved this poem, I also love passions forum. Also a place where new poets are born, such as myself. |

Ah, the perfect greeting for the entry into the Newbie Hall of Fame...once more you've penned a gift, Sven! Well done! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
