Wanted to leave a post to say hello and greetings from Minnesota - USA. As of late, this state has earned its name aptly as "The Frozen Tundra" - as I woke to a temperature of 14 below zero!!

I love to read and compose poetry, and have been expressing myself through journaling for many years. Sharing my work has really been an evolution, since most of what I pen is kept more private. Writing has always helped me work through some of my emotions that I don't always know what to do with. I enjoy free-form and haiku.

Coming off of a writers block that began in early November, I believe I'm back in the saddle again. And with that "epiphany", I decided to seek out a forum to join. This is the first poetry forum I've chosen to become a member of , but I am familiar with basic protocol. I've spent more time appreciating others' pieces, and I'm always amazed at the differing styles and profound use of metaphor.

While I figure out my profile look and peek around a bit, I look forward to meeting many of you here! Cheers!

p.s. - I can't live without coffee!!! ;)

Nice opening commentary. Welcome, take a peak around, make a few comments, and when you feel ready post some of your own work.

As you might have already noticed, there are people from all over the world posting here, and many styles.

Again welcome from Da Troll. :)

Thank you for the welcomes, Yog and scatterbrain!

There is some lovely poetry here, and I'm afraid I won't get my chores done if I remain fixated too long!
