    Hello, I am absolutely glad to be here. I have posted a few poems and I hope that you read and help me rate it. I'll welcome comments and suggestions to improve myself also. By the way, I am relatively new here, and I am still trying to find my way around. I don't mind any help from members as regards adding friends et al! Thanks a bunch!

      Swapping life for death is swapping life for LIFE.

    Editor's Final Note

    Hello all,

    I've been the chief editor of Poemhunter and all the social media pages for about 2 years.
    Some of you may know me as Emily (actually that's not my real name)

    This week, I'm resigning, leaving this job to a junior editor. I'll continue to follow the pages as a fan from now on.
    So thank you all for your support. This was a great opportunity for me, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

    Below, you can see the statistics of the pages, how it evolved since I took over.

    Thank you and good luck to you all!
    See you in another lifetime :)
