Welcome dear,
this site is amazing,
my dear don't miss out,
So many five stars its hard to count,
everyone so nice,
whether its sweetness or spice,
people's poetry gets right,
Couldn't believe some scenes,
in this amazing poets site.

The world wide net,
is usually hard to catch,
but the fun on this site,
will teach you a life lesson all right,
poems of sorrow and light,
and darkness and spite,
the people rock,
kinda like striped socks,
Neolovers come to speak,
to make sure even the little voices are heard,

They'll treat you right,
even on a cold December night,
but you might be in for a fright,
of a cold moonlit night,
when the darkness creeps into light,
and the Neolovers come to see,
such and amazing sight,
reading the spotlight,
writing your own,
all to get into an imaginary zone,
opening up your mind,
to a new time,
where love is life and dark can be light,
Don't you want to,
follow me there?
Its truly amazing my dear!

Ah, Neopoet lover, a delightful tribute!

You capture my joy in the place, but do I detect a note of irony in the first stanza? So many 5 stars? such and amazing sight, such an amazing sight, ? cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.

And a child shall lead them, Jess

Her five-star observation is spot on. And as ANC is a young and enthusiastic Neopoetess, still (apparently) untouched by skepticism, let alone cynicism, it should be taken as 'at face value'. If we see ironies in this, we dredged 'em out of our own blackened hearts. (Certainly true in my case; perhaps occasionally in yours, too).

Keep bubbling; you bring a cheeriness to poetry I rather like.

The best line in the poem is 'kinda like striped socks.' It's FRESH, here, a tinkling natural metaphor (temporarily couched as simile). The rest of the poem operates well within the normal usages of the phrases and formations in common speech. This 'operation within the normal' is a STRENGTH in poetry; which (I advise) you should cling to as long as possible, until the extraordinary within you bursts the bounds of normal and MUST spill over as fresh insight in new-minted metaphor. That orgy of rhyming, though . . . Young lady, I gotta tell ya, with that you came close to 'too much.' And I LIKE rhyme. Imagine what the rhymophobes were doing. I bet their psyches need regluing. And with their heads I now am screwing. I enjoyed it, keep it up. Perry
