I'm very happy to have found your board. I moved to New Zealand from Northern California and am finding it very beautiful. One of my goals while here in this quiet country is to write, but one of my banes is procrastination. I hope being part of this writing community will stimulate my muse! I look forward to happy hours of reading and writing here.

Hello parquet and WELCOME TO MM! 
We're certainly happy you stopped in and I hope to see you posting with us soon, as I believe it will stimulate your muse! 
Wow - I would LOVE to have visited either of your "home turf" places! New Zealand, even though on the other side of the world, must be absolutely stunning!! I'm sure there are slang words you'll learn there amd then have to teach us, !
We offer honest, yet friendly feedback in our workshopping forums so I do hope you'll find yourself at home here, once you settle in. There are many members here with different skill levels and technique, which makes MM more comfortable, diverse and challenging if you become so inclined in your poetic journey. 
There's so much to delve into, so please, wander our halls, take in our colorful 'tiles' and join in the fun. What type of poetry do you enjoy writing most and are there certain forms you often write in? Shall I assume the level of critique you would like to receive on your topics is 'light' to start (until we both learn what is desired)?
Each forum has its own 'forum participation rules' posted in a link at the top of the forums, so please have a read of them: http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=8574 .
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of our staff (AMETHYST, Arnfinn, Eisa, JLY, ohsteve, Psyche and Imhotep).

In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you.

Hi, Cleo! You asked about the types and forms of poems I enjoy writing and I would have to say that I enjoy free verse as well as occasional forays into specific forms (sonnet, ghazal, rhymed quatrains, etc.). And as for the level of critique -- I would truly like the specific, helpful, straightforward kind. I don't need to start with 'light' -- though thanks for asking! - parquet
oh - a question: I enabled "fast reply" because it seems overly cumbersome to use "Quote" as a reply mechanism and then have to cut the quoted message out. However, I don't see where it comes up, so perhaps it isn't enabled on this forum -- or am I missing something?
