Now I have an sad announcemnt to make. After almost 3 years of doing the Poetry Guild, I am leaving it behind and resigning my post in the Counseling Dept. I just want to say thank you all for your support over the years, both to those who entered regularly and who have become my friends and comrades. Thanks for all the fun we have had. But things change and people move on as I feel I have to now. Still I am leaving you in the capable hands of Smile who is taking over for me. I hope she enjoys it as much as I have.

In my time here, I have learned how many of our members have found poetry a wonderful way of expressing themselves, and also how it helped me learn to know them on a deeper level, their fears and hopes and laughter. It has been a wonderful learning experience for me so I leave with many fond thoughts.

Our Poet for the month will be: Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

The February Poetry Guild Theme this month is one of the more popular topics of our Guild: Love and Romance. So send your entries Here and remember, all entries must be your own original works.
