Hi Terrence, Welcome! It is hard to believe that you are a new poet, you already show both depth and flare. Looking forward to a more complete bio and a private email as well. You are certainly off to a great start on the site as 3 of my most favorite people on PoetrySoup have already found you. These 3 are very active and are all local stars in my book. Best wishes and show us what you've got! OK? Ha! PS: Email here is very subpar and limited but it is a super friendly place. And no trolls so far!

Hi Skat... THANK YOU!! you're very cute - having difficulty navigating the site. I have been writing for 35 years. I am writer, dancer, painter - well artist in general I guess you could say. just who I am in my soul. Have one book published, another coming in summer (hopefully) if I can ever decide on formatting. Anyway - thank you again for the warm welcome and taking time to correspond - that means a lot. Terry
