Hello...

Welcome aboard, Chris.

Hello, Chris! I love tater tots, so your last name makes me hungry. Of course, I've been doing my daily pages since I woke up and have missed two meals so that probably has something to do with it.

As an American, I have to say that I love Canada and Canadians. I've often considered buying a 2nd house there. The only thing missing is the money.

So you're a poet and now we know it. I've written a few books of poetry. One for children and one for adults. The only difficulty I've had is finding anyone who actually reads poetry, haha!

Anyway, nice to meet you and I wish you well with all of your poetical adventures. If you ever find a rhyme for orange, let us know.

Hi Chris, welcome. I look forward to seeing your poems. Poetry Critique does not have a fifty-post minimum to start, unlike all the other crit rooms, but it's considered good form to comment on others' poems and offer a few crits before posting your own work.

Do visit around the other forums here too; there's a lot to discover. Enjoy!

welcome, chris. we can always use another poet around here.

a good one can feed 10 people.

That's only with ketchup. Plain, they only feed nine.

12 in a stew.

That's if you throw in a a novelist or two.

Novelists give me indigestion. The great thing about poets is you can just have a nibble when you're not in the mood to glut yourself with a heavy meal.

Oh, and welcome, Chris, to AW and to the poetry forum.

Welcome to the Water Cooler!

AW is a huge place, and there's a lot of information to be found here. Take your time and browse around to get a feel of the various forums.

Feel free to stop by Jed's Newbie Pub at the top of the New Members forum. It's a friendly place where you can hang out, have a virtual drink, and strike up a conversation with other members. If you are new to forums in general, or maybe a bit shy about posting, this is a good place to start.

Here's a link to some of the most commonly asked questions in the FAQs, and another for the Absolute Write Dictionary to help you along. And don't forget to check out the Newbie Guide.

Enjoy your stay.

Welcome friend! No reason to be nervous. We are all pals here.

Howdy, Chris. I am new too. Love B.C. Have dear friends in Revelstoke. Delighted to meet a poet. For many years I wrote poetry, occasionally still do, and song lyrics. Mostly I write fiction these days.
So, in your poetry, are you a rhymer or a prose-r? Do you poet about nature, people, or ?
Be well, spring is coming.....
