Hello from New Brunswick, Canada Options

[Guest_Ellen_*]

Hi! I'm Ellen from the east coast of Canada. Well at least that is where I have lived most of my adult life, but I was born and raised in Ontario. Writing has always been my passion and therapy for as long as I can remember. Even as a small child I tended to think in rhyme, so I lean toward rhyming poetry, but also write an occasional short stories. At one time I wished I had more time to write. Now, since an impaired driver put me in a wheelchair, I have lots of time to write, but not always the ability to sit or type much since my hands were badly broken and a more aggressive arthritis has set in. I hope you will get a chance to check out my poem "LUCKY???" Perhaps writing it is one of the reasons I am still alive against all odds. I wrote for therapy and hope it will make some people stop to think before they go out to drink.

Reading is great but I can't always type a comment at the time I first read something. Hopefully I will remember to go back to comment when my hands are more tolerable. So, please be patient with me if I seem slow at doing things around here. I look forward to getting to know the folks here.

Hello Ellen,
Welcome to our little family of poets. I hope you will find MM as gratifying as I have in sharing your poetry, ideas and skills. I see you already know my dear friend Annie (jacantina) so that calls for an even bigger welcome!



I look forward to reading your work and don't worry about it being "old style", many of us here are lovers of traditional verse.

I too was in a motor accident and seriously injured. You are among friends who understand what fighting pain is all about.
