Quote Left Wounded vanity knows when it is mortally hurt and limps off the field, piteous, all disguises thrown away. But pride carries its banner to the last and fast as it is driven from one field unfurls it in another, never admitting that there is a shade less honor in the second field than in the first, or in the third than in the second.

Quote Left As soon as I began, it seemed impossible to write fast enough - I wrote faster than I would write a letter - two thousand to three thousand words in a morning, and I cannot help it.

You seem to have provided a good place for some of us out here to share our poems and to let them inspire others. I like the way you provide information about poetry that is easy, accessible and concise. I also like the way you are not bombarding my email with junk offers. It is nice to find a legitimate site with people who obviously believe in promoting poetry, not just making the almighty dollar. My hat is off to you.
