hi ya'll

Do join in. It takes a few weeks to get established, so be patient. And it's better to post one poem every few days rather than lots at once. If you comment on other people's work, that might encourage them to read your stuff. It's easy to sink without trace, otherwise.

This particular forum is half topical debate and half squabbling; you have to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Hello Joe. As Dotty says, welcome in...

Oh - and do tell us - where can we find a link to your poetry hrm?

Hi Joe, welcome to ABC. You'll see that writing tends to be discussed more in the other forums on the site. Here in General Discussion you will find debate, argument, humour, news, abuse, friendly banter, trolls, and insanity of various forms. As one of the more sensible members, I just want to say teapot, and hope you enjoy it here.

[%sig%]

More sensible members!

Hi Joe. Another 'sort of poet' here. Welcome.

Just how foreign ARE you, though? :)
