I was encouraged because you all seem such nice,friendly people - plus I see a few friends here who've made eye-contact and waved. Hi! I am a poet who tries to write prose as well ( ... prose isn't a bad word is it?) I am struggling a little to become as enthusiastic about poetry as I used to be. Please don't hate me! Don't get me wrong, I still adore the stuff, but I have also felt in need of a long vacation / holiday from it. Maybe I sickened myself of it, like when you eat too much of a good thing? (There was a period of five years when all I read was poetry.) Anyway, I am from New Zealand and sometimes we look at things a little (shall we say upside down?) from the rest of the world. Let's see if I can re-ignite my enthusiasm for all things poetical. Now ... back to my corner, with a red wine and ABM, who's quiet too ... kia ora.

Work, kids you name it-it has been a bad two weeks. I am so happy to see read write poem! After poetry thursday ended-I kind of was left feeling uninspired to write/writer block kind of thing. I am hoping that this will open me back up to feeling moved enough to be poetic. I look also forward to reading lots of new poetry from everyone else. In case you don't see comments from me-I still try to visit as many sites as possible. I work full-time in a women's health clinic and I also am the mother of two very young (2 & 4 year old boys) so life shall we say is hectic. Also I am not aloud to blog at work :( Fortunately my husband supports my writing habit and I do have a computer at home! Hi,

I'm jumping in. Over at One Deep Breath, this week's prompt has been "belonging." I'm think'n that this is a good place to do just that! I'm a poet by the way.

You are lucky you had that outlet when you were young, and I hope you can get your poem back on with a little help from this project. …deb, I want that box. I have to admit I am a little afraid someone will put a bag of dog doodie in it, though. People have strong reactions to poetry, and someone (with a bag of dog doodie in hand) might not appreciate my poetry mailbox and decide to send me a stinky message to that effect. Paisley, it’s only 17 syllables! You can do it. I know you can. Paris Parfait, I didn’t realize you only started writing poetry again in 2006. That’s when I started writing again. What month in 2006 did you start? AnnieElf, happy (two days until your) birthday! Erin, I don’t think my paper even posted any poetry.

Visit my blog and move around in it and you will pretty much see who I am. That being said, I'm very happy to get to know so many of you, old and new friends all. And here's a secret. I turn 60 on Nov. 18th. I don't feel 60 at all and thank God for the wisdom and good sense I've accumulated. Cheers to all, especially to YOU Ret, oh man of few words and mystery.

I have always written for pleasure, mostly prose, always loved poetry, reading, started writing them recently maybe in the last year or so...but these prompts are really helping me discover myself. I am so glad I found many of you in this group. Thank you. Mind if I join the show?
