Hello Dermott and a warm welcome to Sydney Poetry.

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
• 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.

While there's no editor deciding what gets published there is just a bit of post facto moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.

I hope you enjoy your time on the site and find it useful.

Best wishes,

Adrian

Dermott,

Thank you for your hellos. Of course I'm aware of Mr McCauley and Mr Stewart. They were imaginary friends my dear brother Ern invented – he even created some poems for them. All three are long gone now I'm sad to say. I hope you're not surprised to learn though that I'm not a believer in ghosts. 

Best wishes, 

Ethel Mildred Malley

Dermott, thank you for your kind, wise and encouraging comments in the wake of the attack on my poem about domestic violence by the bitter and twisted Dave Wankering. Also thank you for pointing out the pattern of destructive commentary on other poets' pages by the same Mr Wankering - I doubt that he is a poet. I have notified the site moderator Adrian Wiggins about him, quoting your observations (hope that is ok with you - such people must be vanquished). Warm regards, Jewel

Thanks Dermott for the comments . . .

the Blarney gets the better of me sometimes !
