Return

Hello Friends
It has been a while
I am not sure I have
Much to offer

Not sure if you
Remember who i am
A lot has happened
Since I left
I am not the same

But are we really ever the same
We evolve with time and changes
Good or bad
We live, we learn, sometimes we learn again

My Moderate Criticism

Is that you should request the raw truth.

It is entirely up to you but I, for one, will never critique anything that is asking for anything less than the raw truth.

We all have to operate at our level of comfort, but you should know the moderate criticism you receive will be less valuable to your growth as a writer.

Thank you

I am actually not new to this site. I have been away for a year or so so that was more or less my way of saying i am back. Not my best writing but there is more to come.

Hello, nice to meet you

Of course I won't critique your write, which I see more as an introduction than a genuine attempt at poetry. I hope to interact with you in the future. If you are not writing much new stuff at the moment, may I suggest you post some of your old works which will be new to people like me. If you do that you can also include some history, when it was written, whether it gained much feed back, that kind of thing.

Hi

Nice to meet you. I am a rather old poet on here. I took a bit of a breather and am now slowly getting back at it. Please feel free to read some of my older material.

Lovely to see you here again, I notice that you say there have been changes in your life.
Life is hard sometimes, but always remember that we are here for you.
I have been here many years now and have worn many cloths in my writing, I miss Nevermore I hope you have returned with her.
Digit has been away and there has been little news , even Killer has gone quiet.
They are due another beach party, will you pick the venue this time I shall take notes and send Digit an invite also I will talk to Gee to see if Killer can take a break and join us???
There are many thongs in this life that wear us down but in writing we can heal,
Take care and nw we care, Yours Ian. xx

Hi Ian

Nevermore is here, she is just quiet. As things settle down, there is alot going on, she will resurface.
