Hi Gang.

My name is Luce and I come from the TCP group. I began to write poetry over ten years ago
after taking an online course in Poetry writing. I live in sunny Florida - except Florida is not always
sunny. It rains here - ALOT!!!

Well, gotta haul out my bike and run around town now to do some errands
before the afternoon rains hit.

See you on the boards. grinning.gif

Hi Luce,

It's great to see you here. A number of TCP members have joined us and some have posted in our poetry forums, so you will see familiar faces & feel at home. I hope you will post a poem too as we love reading other members work.

I hope it's not raining for you today! We have had lots of rain here in UK (I hate it!) but today has been dry.

See you in the forums magicwink1.png

Hello Luce and WELCOME TO MM! Newbie.gif PartyFavor.gif Balloons.gif

It's eainy here at the moment too, north of you. Hehe, did you notice we both rhymed? Ha! I've been writing for about 14, but nit as much in the last 5 years.

Here at MM, we offer honest, friendly feedback in our workshopping forums, and try to tailor the preferred crit style to the member (since we have members here with different skill levels and technique). As I get older, I seem to reflect on the past more often and so that may become more prevalent in my own writing.

I hope you'll find MM a comfortable, diverse forum where your muse will blossom. sings.gif cheer.gif There's plenty to delve into, so please, wander our halls, take in our colorful 'tiles' and join in the fun. hsdance.gif Idea.gif

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of our staff (AMETHYST (Liz), Eisa (Snow), Arnfinn (John), Psyche (Sylvia), JLY (John) and Imhotep (Peter)). rose.gif margarita.gif mm.gif mm.gif

Cheers,

Collaboration feeds innovation. 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. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind.

Thanks Eisa and Lori for the welcome. I'm glad I found out about MM before it was too late.

MM seems to be a cool group and I'm slowly going through the various boards. I do like the fact that there is a lot of info on "meter". Writing in meter has always been difficult for me so I need all the help I can get - and then some. laugh.gif

I do have an immediate question for you guys though. How many crits do you want done before you can post a poem? Offhand, I can't find that info. My apologies in advance if you have it plainly stated and I just wasn't looking closely enough.

I definitely believe that giving positive/constructive feedback, as well as receiving it, is extremely important. It can make or break a poetry site.

Luce

P.S. Right now, I'm giving 3 crits to 1 poem in a board. This was the ratio we used in TCP. If the ratio is higher, please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi Luce,

I'm pleased you are enjoying looking around. I have noticed you critiquing poems, something some people forget/avoid!

The rule is

1) work every (2) days when (2) critiques to other's works have been given within the same forum.

When you click on a forum, the rules are right at the top above the rest of the forum, under the title


Forum Participation Rules & Post Icon Legend: Please Read Before Posting

Looking forward to reading a poem from you.

Eira
