a tentative "hello"

[asketes]

From what I've seen after perusing these boards for a couple days, this place will rip me apart. No matter, I've taken a couple hits to the gut before, I'll probably survive.

In all seriousness, I look foreward to posting here and growing as a writer. I haven't had much experience critiquing other peoples' poetry, but I suppose now is as good a time as any to give it a go.

Cheers
