      Oh get off your soapbox, Bou. No alzheimers here, nor ever will be, don't run in my family if it's any of your business. What apology?I repeat...what apology?

    Watch out for Poetry Foundation offering you publication in their book...a scam...they scour the internet, pick one of your poems, and try to sell it back to you in book form++2 pins. Be highly suspicious of these people.

    Just a polite message for those who wish comments on their poetry:
    1) try to be more self-confident with what you have written.
    2) Edit, revise, toss
    3) Put the poetry away in a drawer for about a week. When you read it again, betcha you say, " I wrote this???"

    4) Seek help from those who take writing ultra seriously...like me.

    5) Message me...I am available.
    Thanks and Good Morning!

      " Seek help from those who take writing ultra seriously...like me." " Yes, with 500+ 'poems' of yours in an e-book it's obvious you take things seriously. It's a pity, however, t ... more

    A word of dire warning here: Do NOTgo to Yahoo Answers. Your freedom of speech will be taken away and expect NO help from their customer support either.

    Good luck. I don't see much evidence that anyone communicates here or reads any other member's works. I write & post my stuff for myself anyway. I find it emotionally and spiritually cleansing. Just go with that and avoid the frustration that desire for feedback or interaction will bring you.

      Wow. You write some pretty harsh stuff. Completely true, but harsh.

    How could you rekindle the old sparks that once adorned this forum?Do you think it could be easier than you first thought, based on the lack of certain volatile characters and ne'erdowellers. Admittedly, we seem to have another multiple spam dropper, but on the whole, I think the censorship and impartial deletions have reduced. What say you?Should we renew our discussions on all things poetic?

    I'm afraid you are dreaming here. Think of the logistics and howl to the moon.
