New to PoetrySoup	Hi all, I just want to introduce myself, as I am new to PoetrySoup. I am a beginner poet and I mainly write casually. I love the depth of expression you can accomplish with poetry, which is why it is one of my primary means of expression. I've dealt with anxiety and, somewhat, with depression for awhile now, and poetry is a great way for me to let that out. I decided I wanted to share some of my poems, so I chose PoetrySoup. The community here is great. Hope you can check out some of my work! Most of the stuff posted now is old, but I will be posting new stuff soon. Look forward to reading all of your poems too! Cheers, Kyle Maples

Finding members	Is there anyway I can get a list of all the members of PoetrySoup? I can't seem to find anyone via the search bar.

Here is he stuck, within an icy skull.	This is my first Shakespearean Sonnet, so let me know what you think! Here is he stuck, within an icy skull. His cooling core yearns for the warmth of sun. He sits and sees the snowflakes blend and dull The rocky walls that trap the frozen one. Does he succumb to numbing apathy, Or fight winter, a battle for the daft? December flowers wilt like his decree To break the walls with fists and stabbing shafts. His shaking fists make weapons hard to wield. The beating turns his wrists to rigid casts. A golden ray leaks through the wall that shields And gives a glimpse of brighter sunshines past. Always his arms grow weak, his strength gives way, But still he tries again another day.

Blue	Great poem! I know what you mean about those dark, blue nights. They can be powerful moments.
