Hello, me here. I love writing; I'd die if I didn't. I also like con-crit. That is, a fair comment on a poem that points out strengths an weaknesses. I hate flames. THat is, "I don't like this poem. And therefore, burn in Hell!" Not that I believe in Hell, but you get the idea.

I'm all for subtlety. If you really want to know what I'm thinking or feeling when I'm writing the poems, you've got to think laterally. Looks for teensy tiny, almost invisible hints -quotes, references to other things I've written that refer to something I said once - almost all of my poems mean more than they appear. I like my methods because I can always remember exactaly what was happening the day I wrote a particular piece - what book i was reading, who I liked at the time, what inspired the mood.

"Don't dare write it, for fear it will become words, just words"~ Viggo Mortensen

"I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are evil."

”And so the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, is ended.”
