Hey, Introducing myself Options

[DeeJay]

Hello all.

I was happy to stumble upon this site. I did so by reading a recommendation on another poetry site that I have enjoyed reading. That poetry site is now closing down.

My name's Delainie. It's a bit of a mouthful though, so Dee will do. I am 41, female and live in Sydney, Australia.

I like reading and writing poetry. I enjoy reading original and/or weird poetry.

Thanks, it's been nice to introduce myself & I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Hello Dee and WELCOME TO MM!

It's a shame to hear about other forums closing, but I do think it's a sign of the times - as cliche as that sounds. I hope you'll find your new poetry home here, although I must make it a point to send an email to the membership as its been a long while. I think I may also post the announcement for our annual holiday classic today as well.

We have a few Australians here: Arnfinn (John - a staff member) and Maureen.

I like reading all sorts of poetry and prose as well - weird or not - it's all interpretation (unless a fixed form where the requirements were not achieved).

We offer honest, yet friendly feedback in our workshopping forums so I do hope you'll find yourself at home here, once you settle into your own groove-thing and start interacting (we don't bite). 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.

Please, wander our halls, take in our colorful 'tiles' and join in the fun. We used to have a more defined division for level of critique desired (if any), but we've changed that beginning from July, 2013. So now, whne you post a topic for comments, please post a tag line either in the title description (or in the beginning of your thread) stating your desired level of critique. That can be done by simply using a series of stars for light (*), medium (**), or full (***) critique. We also have something called the 1:2:2 rule, which we do not worry about as strictly these days: Each member may post a new work every two days (no more than that, please) providing they then post two critiques of others' works in the same forum. In other words, Post today, not tomorrow (in same forum). You may post one new topic every two days provided you comment on the works of two fellow members (within the same forum).

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, Psyche and Imhotep).
