Hello!
I am a native Californian, living in Orange County with my British husband and 2 cats. I have four young grandchildren, two live in American and two live in Alvechurch, England. Four years ago I started writing poetry— formal verse is what I really love, but I also write free verse. In January 2010 I started Victorian Violet Press, an on line poetry magazine...which has had 2 issues out so far this year. I don't mind detailed critiques, and am most grateful when technical or grammatical errors are spotted. I look forward to reading more poetry here~ ·······  ······· |

Hi Karen
So your husband is a Brummie -- small world! I was born in Wales, but have lived in Birmingham most of my life. How great to have you here! Snow

Karen,
Welcome aboard. It's always a pleasure to have someone join us who embodies some of the cultural perspectives from the U. K. My wife is Scottish, born in Port Glasgow and I've learned a lot from her about the language differences that pervade both sides of the pond. JLY ······· ·······Give thanks for your new friends of today, but never forget the warm hugs of your yesterdays.
