Just Poets

2008 is well under way and I like the even numbers best so let's hope that means more inspiration! Silly I know.... Anyway my poetry is flowing after a long spell of writers' block so I hope it's the same for you. Post your poems to the message board and let's inspire each other with friendly feedback. I know you're all good at the constructive criticism too. I've been trying to post a picture of myself as a cartoon on Second Life where you could come and chat to me and read your poems out in the virtual world. I work with a friend there to build some fantastic projects for writers. You can chat to writers from around the world for free using a simple headset and we have readings, events and a writers' circle where you can share your writing - poetry and fiction. Find it on http://www.secondlife.com and search for Jilly Kidd which is my Second Life name. Hope to see you there! If you would like to hear my voice then click on the menu to hear me read my poems. My collection Never-Never Land is due out in January and I'll let you know when the launch is. We hope you enjoy the poems. Just remember that the copyright for each poem remains with the writer and you mustn't download the poems or republish them without the writer's permission, whether online or in print. Writing on the Internet is protected by copyright law in the same way as printed books. We're glad to see so many visitors - hundreds per week - but we don't know who you are. Remember to say hello in the guest book or the message board so we can welcome you. You can send us your ideas and comments on our message board, and it's one of the best free workshops around. There's a lively debate going, so feel free to post your poems directly on to the message board for discussion. Adele Ward
