Mr and Mrs Noyes

Man, you say you want it When you don't want it You say you don't want it When you want it. Man, you say you're okay When you're not okay You say you're not okay When you're okay. Man, you say there's nothing When there is a lot You say there is a lot When there's nothing. Man, you say you're in love When you're not in love You say you're not in love When you're in love. So, fake it or be real? Or make it a Noyes lie? It should be like French pie Drowned in a mouthful of wine. Denis DNT Beijing, September 2007.

Denis, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thanks for the warm welcome Linda. I will definitely check out your poems. I am still training myself on how to use the website and unfortunately it doesn't work on my cellphone. I will get used to it soon I guess. I started writing when I was quite young. I always describe my poems as a little bit too emotional because I mostly write them when hurt. So you will notice that feeling of lamentation in most of them. The ones I am sharing here are part of a collection I named "Sore Mind Poems".

Hello SKAT, thanks for the warm welcome here. It is the first time I know about Poetry Soup. I stumbled upon it earlier today and decided to explore around. I fell in love with the way things are neatly laid out on the page making it easy for even an IT illiterate like me to navigate around without asking many questions. I know what it takes to organize content on a site like this. So kudos to the team. About me, I am a veteran ESL teacher based in Shanghai, China. Cameroonian by birth, father of 3 and a fan of art. I look forward to meeting some nice people here. Cheers!
