Hi Helen, and welcome to the Sydney Poetry social site.

This is a social site built by the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) for the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds).

You can:

• add poetry events, photos and videos to the site,
• add your own poetry in the Member's Poetry section (but just one a day please),
• write blog posts (and let us know if already blog so we can add you to the members blogroll)
  
• start topics in the forum,
• invite poets you know to join,
• comment on just about everything, or
• just keep an eye on what's happening.

This being a social site the more we all do here the more interesting it becomes for everyone. 

 

There's no membership fee, and no editor deciding what gets published (there is though just a bit of post facto moderation to keep it clean and on-topic).

 

So others here know a bit more about your interest in poetry it'd be great if you introduced yourself with a few words in a post or the text box on your profile page.

I hope you enjoy your time on the site and find it useful, and please let us know what you think.

 

Best wishes,

Adrian

Welcome Helen!

You are welcome Helen. Thankyou for sharing the story behind the smile. It sounded very romantic and atmospheric, a lovely way to spend a couple of hours on your honeymoon! I loved your At a Funeral and Teaching Mahmoud Darwish's Memory for Forgetfulness. They are  thought provoking and both link in well with acceptance of 'what is' and letting go of the past. Well, that is how I see it! There is some moving imagery too. Congrats!

You are welcome.
