Hello,
Thought it best to introduce myself as a newcomer. My name is Mike Daniels, and I'm a poet from the Peak District of England. My children consider me to be old, fat and bald, though not necessarily in that order. I've been writing for a while now, never quite satisfied with the end product and prone to barren periods, yet always with that overpowering love of language...
Nudging 64, my other passions beyond family and words would be for the natural order of things, music and football (that's soccer or real football, not the American version.)
Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike and WELCOME TO MM!
You've posted a great intro, as it gives us an idea of what you seek. Critiquing our own work, in addition to anothers is always a challenge until both get to know what makes the other one tick, and maintaining a friendly mindset, while not offending. I am forever still learning, and I welcome the sharing of experience.
I look forward to reading your work, as I believe it will stimulate your muse and keep your mind sharp! We offer honest, friendly feedback in our workshopping forums so I hope you'll find yourself at home here, once you settle in. 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.
There's much to delve into, so please, wander our halls, take in our colorful 'tiles' and join in the fun. What type of poetry do you enjoy writing most and are there certain forms you often write in?
Each forum has its own 'forum participation rules' posted in a link at the top of the forums, so please read them if you'd be so kind prior to posting: click here to read them.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of our staff (AMETHYST, Arnfinn, Eisa, JLY, Psyche and Imhotep).

Hi mike, it's so good to see you here. I would have hated to never read a poem from you again. That's why I hope more will follow from TCP, there are so many good poets I'd miss.
I'm glad to see you've braved the forums and posted already!
Btw I think kids think you're already old at 40yrs! LOL!
Welcome to MM
