Sounds like a good plan. Check that poetry site out, if you join to post that poem-let me know what name you use there so I can find the poem to comment on it there. Many there use nick names and not their real names. I use my real name there myself.Originally Posted by SassyLady
Yes, do post your granddaughters poems here when she gives her permission my friend.
You definitely have great natural poetic talent. And thats a superb gift to have.

My Dear SassyLady and Robert,
I am so much glad that a poetry thread starts enlarging.
I enjoy a Real Pleasure reading your poems and compositions.
Thank you both.
Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine

Nor casting pearls to swine.

So, Tyr, went to the poetry site. For each poem they ask what style it is. I have no freaking idea. I told you that stuff is why I don't write poems ... there seem to be 10K styles. There's not an "other" category so I just said they were all free style.
Interesting site.

Yes, I saw your poems posted there. I comment on them and sent you a pm there.
Also added you to my favorite poet list there. By my doing that I can click on your name and see your profile and all your poems there without having to search..
Just be aware, there is a powerful group of so-called top poets there that do exactly as most such groups do to try to protect their image and jealously guard their position. Such people seem to be everywhere my friend, basic human nature..-Tyr

Tragedy in Black
The tragedy of love lost has returned
Whispering dark lies of jealousy
Taunting with brutal honesty
Vehemently insisting on the truth
Lingering hugs, and furtive kisses,
Air crackling with mutual infatuation
The light in his eyes is alive for another
And only reflections of sadness for us
Emptiness bleeding from my cracked heart
Revenge consuming every waking thought
Obsession eroding the innocence of my soul
I ceased to exist
As the last speck of my essence
Dissolved into a black pit of despair
I realized the tragedy of love lost
Doesn’t have to be

Yes, I saw it and commented on it already!
I logged in there first this morn.
I thought by the title name that it was a contest entry. I did not write for that contest myself. I only now write for about 4 or 5 contest sponsors as the other sponsors play that favoritism game and place each other in the top three or four places each contest they sponsor. A scratch my back and I'll scratch yours association.
If you'd like the names of the ones to avoid, pm me here. Reason I say that is because I fear their rejection of your entries may cause you doubt in your abilities as it has other new poets there. Thats why Peter Duggan, myself and about 20 other real poets there raised holy hell about it early last year! Admin there ignored our revolt because that little ruling "cabal of poets" write, sponsor and blog there religiously and most are published poets--most are lifetime bought members.
Within a few weeks after my speaking out against that unfair and dishonorable practice, my top 100 poet's ranking fell from 17th place to 76th(I was hit with 7 no placements in a row immediately after speaking out-- and all no placements were by those guilty parties we pointed out doing the damage. . Peter's fell just as drastically. We both knew we get hit hard but felt principle demanded we speak out!
Yet a great many fine and decent poets there---just making you aware of the rottenness allowed by admin there in order to make more money.
As a "newbie" you will not be considered a threat and at first will not be attacked but should you rise in the rankings like lightning , as I did and crack the top 20 best poets level , they will attack and do so as a group.
Note, I am not complaining my lot there. Way past that now. I now avoid those dishonorable people and enter none of their contests.
If you have any questions pm me here, as both Peter and I believe admin there reads our private messages --other poets been there many years told us thats the case.
Just know this, I've read about a dozen of that contest entries so far. Yours should definitely place and not only that it should place fairly high IMHO. -Tyr

We are fortunate not to have those types of people running this forum.

Thought this one up in less than 30 seconds after hearing about Tyr's stolen poems.
Plagiarism
Why do you steal words from me?
When all I want is to be
Someone who feels free
To reflect what my soul sees!!

Love's Here To Stay
Get up and move
Today is the day
It's time to prove
Love's here to stay
See the happy bride
So nervous can't speak
Dad beaming with pride
Mom kissing her cheek
The groom stands steady
Heart starting to pound
Way past being ready
For this treasure found
Knowing a kind man
Waits at the alter
Reaching for her hand
She will not falter
Watching his future wife
Floating down the aisle
Eyes dancing with life
Can't help but smile
Asked to hold hands
Recite sacred marriage vows
Exchange silver wedding bands
Husband and wife now!
Guests are gathered around
Sharing this special day
Words of wisdom abound
Music starts to play
Beneath the setting sun
Mischief in every glance
Everyone needs crazy fun
Do the chicken dance
Bouquet and garter tossed
Eager hands reach high
Some won some lost
Some laugh some sigh
Party over, guests gone
Nothing else to say
Sweet kisses until dawn
Love's here to stay.
I wanted to use the two words "crazy fun" in a poem and this is what popped out. Weird how this happens. Still having fun but sure takes up a lot of my time.

I've done that often in my many decades of writing poetry , taken a few words that came to me. and structured a poem around them...
This poem you just created may well fit into a current or even a future contest there.
You should keep checking on the members contests page to see if it does my friend. -Tyr
