I really think that it was about time to put the spotlights on poetry, in it's every form! I don't think that I'm such a bad poet that pratically no one reads my poems. But it's sad that I don't even get constructive critics <.< I get more comments on photos and manipulations :(
That's why I'm already watching you guys.
I don't have time now, but when I do I'll read some of those poems. We all should give poets our love.

Much love and admiration, Mimi.
