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 wrote a poem when I was five years old that made it into the school newspaper, and then another that was chosen to be in the school district writing journal. My mom took me to a poetry reading and it was pretty inspiring, but after 14 or 15 I pretty much stopped writing poetry and I'm not sure why. I'm hoping to get back into it. And that's my story. I must say that this place has me pretty optimistic so far. :) Hi all,
