Dearth of poetry

Sad Ooops, I hear some of you say, there she goes again, moaning about the lack of poetry on the boards. But, at least this current moan, has an upside. I have been rereading the back pages of the Emotional poetry boards and, occasionally, bumping up a favourite piece from the times when every new day saw a flood of work from some of the most talented, exceptionally gifted women I have ever had the satifaction to call friends. And I found one particular page where there appears a smorgasboard of work from just these poets. So, if you are fairly new to Mels, or if like me you would like to be reminded, go here

http://www.melswebs.com/poetryboards/viewforum.php?f=2&topicdays=0&start=450

and read, from the top down, especially the works of ae, brachingritualz, smarkcookiesmart, jcreature lover, and others. It's unbelievable good! And if you like any particular poem, comment on it, its NEVER too late. And go look for more of hers, or theirs, remember this is just ONE page.


Hugz, MG

MG,

I love going back through the pages of the poetry forum...I do it from time to time and just read to my heart's content. There is so much talent here, and not only that, but there is a family here that has been built over the years. I can go back and read a poem by someone, and remember exactly what they were going through at that time and how they got through it, its truely an inspiration.

I haven't written in quite some time...I know that its a block caused by too much stress from the 'family situation'...and I'm working on fixing it. But thank goodness for the ability to come here and read, even when my own creative juices aren't flowin.

Thank you for posting this, I can't wait till the boards come back to life.

Hella Hugs,

(((((((((((((((((X)))))))))))))))))

It makes me feel a little less odd knowing that I am not the only one sitting here laughing, crying and remembering through the back pages. Not only do I enjoy the poems, but often the comments on them by others bring the most amazing memories and when I stumble across my own stuff I am humbled by the support, love and enthusiasm others showed for my work, and the subject of the poem.

I have also been SEVERELY blocked as regards poetry X, thought doing some story writing. But a combination of leafing through past poems and the sever weather we had yesterday finally coaxed a few verses from me.

Thanks for the support you have always shown me, both now and in times past. Hella hugZ X.

Grrrrrr, this is what I mean Sad There are 2 new poems and 3 or 4 old ones I have bumped up on the Poetry boards and virtually no comments at all from anyone save me and Eilidh.

I am going to have to accept I think that NO ONE hardly at all bothers reading there anymore. What a shame.

Sorry for not being on the boards much recently, my hard drive crashed and have been trying to save my data cos my backups failed........including melswebs web structures. I do read the poetry but replying is hard cos I have to reply using my mobile phone ...... its slow for me....... hate it.

Luv melx
