Mosaic Musings...interactive poetry reviews _ Introduce Yourself _ hello

Posted by: anaisa May 13 10, 18:56

Hello!

I am a native Californian, living in Orange County
with my British husband and 2 cats. I have four young
grandchildren, two live in American and two live in Alvechurch,
England.

Four years ago I started writing poetry—
formal verse is what I really love, but I also write free verse.
In January 2010 I started Victorian Violet Press, an on line poetry
magazine...which has had 2 issues out so far this year.

I don't mind detailed critiques, and am most grateful when technical
or grammatical errors are spotted.

I look forward to reading more poetry here~

Hi Karen and welcome to MM.

It's late here in UK 1.50am so this will have to be brief, but when I saw you here I had to give you a warm welcome - it's so good to see you.

I have read your poem - I love nature poems and will get to it tomorrow with some thoughts.

goodnight
Snow

Hi Snow-

My husband is a Brummie and I'm bilingual...I speak British with
an American accent (kidding)
Nice to meet you.

Hi Karen

So your husband is a Brummie -- small world! I was born in Wales, but have lived in Birmingham most of my life. How great to have you here!

Hi Steve,

So, you get to have bread pudding and lemon curd and
all that yummy stuff in your house, too?
We try to get over there every year!

Nice to meet you~

Karen,
Welcome aboard. It's always a pleasure to have someone join us who embodies some of the cultural perspectives from the U. K.
My wife is Scottish, born in Port Glasgow and I've learned a lot from her about the language differences that pervade both sides of the pond.
