Greetings and felicitations.
My name is April. I have written poetry for umpteen tens of years. I quit listening to the people who live in my head from my past who told me as a kid that people like me don't write, if they write they don't publish and if they do publish they never ever get paid. I quit listening when I got my first geek book published. I quit hiding my poetry several years later. Now, I write. I write for me. I write because the words in my brain will not be silenced unless I do.

Welcome April,
We are pleased to have you here. Congratulations on being published. Do you have a link to your book(s)?
I look forward to seeing the poems you choose to post, and getting your view on poetry. As you probably know, we are a small site, but have some good writers. We try to exchange honest views of the poems posted while maintaining some collegiality.
I hope you like here and speak up if there is anything to help you settle in.
Cheers.

April --
As you may know, today is the first day of National Poetry Month. Let me call your attention to the Tangled Branch celebration--
National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!
30 poems in 30 days (or however many you want). Click the link, it is pretty self-explanatory. Let me or Tom know if you have questions.
Cheers. And look forward to seeing your writing.

Hi April!
Welcome to the fold and CONGRATULATIONS! Good for you. I found the naysayers in my life played into the stubborn part of me. Now I'm my own worst critic.
It's great to see you here. I look forward to geeking out on your work.
