Hi everyone, and I'm thrilled to have found this site. There are a lot of great poetry writers. I started writing in rhyme at the age of 15, and both of my parents were poets. I was on 3 AOL boards for 7 yrs., General, Romance, and Janpanese. I loved it there but they had to fold. I've been looking on and off ever since. From my AOL days, I write mostly free verse, but my rhyme will sneak out at times, so my muse allows it to stay, lol. I'll state that my poem is 'free verse and rhyme mix'. There's so much variety in life, so why not in poetry? Even though you'll see me as ArtGal, please call me Sharon!
