Hi,
None of you may know me... some may remember me. I've been a member of this site since may of 2001. I've written a good deal of poetry on this site on older archives, I believe in my time I was one of say two to three people at most to have been writing poetry here.I've been writing since approximately 1986, (since I was 16), and was first published in 1991.
I don't plan on adding any of my new poems to this board, because I am only posting them to one particular site for a few published readers for criticism etc, and they are in manuscript form, so I feel that it's in my best interest not to flood the internet with them.
The point is, not to be un-modest, I know a darned lot about poetry, and if any of you would like help, crit, or any kind of advice on rhyme scheme, meter, iambic, free verse, sonnets, etc etc, I can help you out.
I'm doing this not because I think I'm the worlds greatest poet, or even close, but to help people if they like, to better there writing.
Poetry is not as simple as it sounds, and a lot of people are surprised when a particular piece in a highly critical forrum gets trashed. I can give you advice that will highly improve both the power and form of your poetry.
How much? Nothing... just your attention, and the willingness to give some advice a try.
