Hi all
I am a new member - Stuart, living in NYC - writer of rhyming metered poetry - been writing some 12 years with a 5 year lapse in the middle - hoping to come out of the doldrums and begin writing again. Nice to meet you all. |

Hello Michael,
Welcome aboard the good ship MM. This is a fantastic place to submit your work for both critique and admiration. Sometimes there is more of one than the other but that is why we all came here to start with - learning and getting better at our chosen craft. Hope to read some of your work soon.

Welcome to MM, Michael! I just took a peek at the R&F poem you posted about Japan. I see you're certainly a good poet, 5 years in the doldrums don't seem to have affected your style in the least. Hope you enjoy your stay here. We're a little short of staff at the moment, so please don't worry if comments take a while to arrive. It's just a temporary situation. All the best, Psyche (Sylvia) ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos

A late greeting, as I've been a bit scattered of late...
and I'm confused over everyone's calling you Michael when you identified yourself as Stuart.... but then I'm always a bit slow to understand things.... but someone please fill me in on my ignorance, Daniel

Hey Daniel,
Look to the "Member Icon" on the left: Real name: Michael! Don't know why he wrote "Stuart, living in NYC " Larry ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
