Well, one of the new ones here. So far it doesn't look like the other sites I've been on.. Wattpad and writing.com.. Grrrrrr everything is about paying for getting advertised and the a*s kissing..
Don't care for that stuff, sooo after some exploration I decided on this site
We'll see how it goes.
Cheers

Hello R. I love this poem about Writer's Cafe. You have captured the essence of 'the café' superbly. It is indeed like a family run Café where we all meet to chat and write and comment. As in life, many have many have swapped writing poetry on earth to writing poetry in Spirit, but those of us left love to meet up with our friends in this really lovely, warm and welcoming group. Everybody is so kind and we give our very best to entertain each other. I so agree that there are always opportunities to write and share. I can't imagine a day without a daily visit! A very sweet, appealing, charming and excellently penned poem, dear R. I so enjoyed reading and I, thank you for sharing. Wishing you a very nice, relaxed and pleasant evening. I hope it's filled with inspiration for you to write more of your delightful poetic gems. I look forward to reading and commenting...

LOL I always pop back... this place is still like home to me:) my absence is more due to absence of brain power more than moving on LOL I have still been on medium too just not as much:/ I have pages upon pages of unfinished poems its funny had you asked me just how long it was going to take me to heal I would have never guessed it would be this long but as it turns out my psychical healing took much less time then my mental healing of which is still very much a work in progress:/ Enough about the bunny I love how you made the comparison to the café with a neighborhood street:) what a perfect analogy! Its so funny how I still feel a connection to all of you and I don't think that will ever go away in so many ways you guys have helped me in my own evolutions of write its as if you are all ghost writers when I scribble a poem

New here, but the idea of returning is interesting. In the same way, we return to old drafts to check if they are still alive and if the words we wrote years ago make sense.

This is very true. I'm not here often because most of the friends I made here are not online anymore. I miss this place very much. It was a very active community and I loved the Contests.

Every community has its joys and hardships.
We lose people and we welcome new ones.
I've seen some ugliness here but I'm seen much more beauty.
Sadly, most will remember the ugly. You are different. We need more people like you.
I wish more of them would come back, some of them have been gone for so long that whatever made them leave in the first place could be different. It would just be great to have some of the old greats back again and see their writing and what has changed in the years. But hopefully, for some at least, moving on was because they became more professional than amateur and that's exciting for them. That's the great thing about it being a community, though, it can still be here to welcome new writers as it once did those who came before. I for one have a lot more nouns to prune, so if you'll excuse me.
