Hello from Winnipeg Canada Options

[Guest_Don Schaeffer_*]

I've been hanging around and posting poems on the internet since the early 90s. I've been in and out of many poetry forums and kicked out of some. I now have 4 books and dozens of magazine and e-zine publications and am getting old. It's always good to see something fresh. I am glad to be here. I'll do my best to praise things I like and try to improve things I feel I can improve. Frankly, I don't like detailed critiques, word by word. Those minutiae are the province of the poet's taste and judgement. I don't enjoy getting them and I probably won't write them unless I see a real problem. Glad to be here.

Hello Don,
Greetings from a neighbor - Penticton BC. Well, in the same country anyway.
I don't do critique anymore either, after years of doing so. It's still a valuable tool, and there are many who participate.
That's also the reason I don't post in workshops much, since I don't give I don't wish to receive. Unfortunately, there isn't much activity in the non-crit forums, and without traffic, there's little enthusiasm to post. Only recently have I gone downstream in the challenge forum, and a few of my efforts are available there.

Your name is familiar from other sites. I'm not certain we've crossed pens before, but I have seen you. I'm also the Rooster and Chanticleer on yuku boards.

Let's have some Floodipeg postings.
