Dear Poetry Reading World,

There has been a recent problem of people STEALING my poems and taking credit for them as their own. As you might guess, this enrages me. Sadly, fictionpress.com no longer holds any joy for me, so I decided to delete my poems to help discourage future problems. For those of you who would like to read my poetry, please feel free to e-mail me at bedshaped_andlegsofstone@yahoo.com. I'll reply as soon as I get your message. I'm sorry this had to happen, but some people in the world feel the need to ruin things for everybody. I take my poetry seriously, and if you're a poet you know why. Those aren't just words that you're creating and writing down. It's you LIFE. Your hopes, dreams, fears, passions..all there. Things like that can only be your OWN.

Peace and Love,
Nicole
