Hello world, I was just passing and hear all the noise. Thought I would pop in and say G'day from Australia. Good looking place, neat graphics and colours too.
I am Michael Chellew. I know Cher from a few years back. I found out about The Versifier as per a correspondence from her. I look forward to contributing and to being enhanced by fellow poetic writes.
I knew Cher from her work with Tony Spivey---and couldn't resist some of the talent I saw. I may be mostly commenting for a bit, til I get my bearings, but you have a helluva board here...kudos...
Hi... Lizbeth Ann King here. I'm an old married lady who, through recent life situations, just started writing again. I've been married nearly 25 years, have one 19 y.o. son & am a furniture/gift/antique retailer.
I have written a little bit of everything, mostly free verse, but as I age have found various forms challenging. Wrote a series of epitaphs years back & have kicked around the idea of putting those together in a book....
Wondered if there is anything else I need to do to let you guys get to know me. I really really do desire critique on my poems and hope all of you will read & comment.
I have enjoyed the amazing poetry I've read here so far.
The most important sentence for me here on the site (for now) and the reason I registered here is the one I found in the guidelines:
Quote:* We encourage artists at all levels.*
And that is the first problem, I dont know, if I can help much with well-founded critics, maybe in the Artists Eye section.
I have no formal education and what I should have learned in ancient times I have for sure forgotten. Im about to start reading books about poetry, meter, rhyme etc, but it is a hard bread. I only can write poems or stories now and then, when inspiration has hit me, but then I have to write them, even if this means neglecting my work... I do some digital and other paintings, but unfortunately my skill is not much bigger there and I need ages to finish one - and my day has only 24 hours. *sigh*
My next problem is, I do have some works already, written (under another name) for a world building site and I dont know, if it is ok from your side to post them here. I would still like to have some critics from skilled persons.
Hi, I got invited via private message to check this board out, so I think I will. My name is Miranda, and I am a writer. What I write is mostly light fantasy, as in, no magic or magical creatures, just a possible and slightly historical world that happens to not exist.
Sometimes certain punctuation and letter combos automatically convert into an emoticon. It's an annoying EZboard glitch that pops up from time to time. Sorry!
Hi, I was here a long time ago, and now I might be back. I nned some community, and I need a muse. I need to write again. So, maybe I'll give it another go.
