Thank you for the warm welcome - I believe I am among friends. Yes, please, go lightly on the critique until I find my way around. I think it is good to have constructive feed back, it is how we learn. The fora I have participated in before have been mainly 'Discussion Boards' which, like the curate's egg, are good in parts. While they do have poetry sections, they are not well frequented. I have the honour to be a Moderator in one of them, and have introduced challenges to generate some interest and, at the moment that seems to be working. I do not have a particular style - I just follow my where my pen takes me ! I have always written poetry but fell into short story writing by doing a course at University, and am quite enjoying exploring that aspect of writing - plus - don't laugh - I am currently writing a novel which my friendly proof-reader has described as a "psychological romantic who-done-it" !
