Many verses, I’ve scribbled down
O’er the years and I have found
They, mostly, sat on shelves, unread
By anyone, but me
I longed to share them with other folks
But, when the time came, I would choke
I felt they didn’t care to read
My thoughts in poetry
Then, one day I was exploring
The web for works of well known poets
I stumbled on a site, refreshing
Poemhunter. Com
I joined up and published ten
Of poems I had already penned
Then, before much time had passed
I received my first comment
I was thrilled, to say the least
That someone out there had noticed me
And actually took the time to say
I enjoyed your poetry
I think that I will ne’er forget
The first comment, my work would get
On PH, I’m now “hooked” and thank
The lovely Lucianne

Very nice write Richard! ! (YES people on PH are great) they do appreciate other poets on this site and always try to read and comment here! Thanks for sharing! ! *10*! ! Best regards, Friend Thad
It is an addictive site, with days of over 20,000 readers at any givin moment, I am suprised how so many writes go through without a comment or a rating....Every comment I recieve, , , , I cherish it, , like a Pearl... Howard

Glad to hear that someone else is 'hooked.' Scary to think all your work could've gone unnoticed. Never thought i'd say it, but thank God for the internet!
