Tom, there are some truly amazing people on Poetrysoup, my lifetime membership was gifted to me years ago by an angel in heaven now, Linda-Marie, the Sweetheart of Poetry Soup. You may not know of her but her poetry is still here. I am very happy for you !

Thank you B.W., I have noticed that since I have been on here how good people are and hearing about others like yourself who also received a gift from someone. They certainly make the world a better place.

I'm delighted for you Tom, it is the most wondeful gift you have been given by an amazingly generous person. I too was gifted several PM's and also a lifetime membership and as a total novice to poetry i have strived to use these gifts to the best of my ability, to continue to develop as a poet and to pass on my knowledge to others and until i left my job i 2016 I was giving talks to the creative writing group In the 6th form at school and also using some of my poems in English lessons;-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you so much Jan, Its great to be part of this group, there is none better. Its such a learning curve on here and seeing what others write is amazing, there is so much talent on here. I will certainly make good use of my time on here and I'm just sorry I didn't come across this site years ago
