First Time posting anything here to this site. My interest is focused primarily on the "Creative Writing" aspect of the Forum. (I joined by invitation of another member.) Having never been exposed to this forum and procedures before, I'm not really knowledgeable of where documents such as "poems" or "poetic narratives" are posted. Since this is a "Test Thread," I will go ahead and post a simple poem here to see if this works and what comments (if any) I might receive in return.
Here's a Double Dactyl poem entitled: "Prufrock's Symbolic World, dated January 14, 2015:
Prufrock’s Symbolic World
Metaphors-Extraordinaire
Thomas Stearns Eliot
Metaphysical consciousness
Aura of aging and decay.
Streams of consciousness forever
Proto-disillusionment
The mermaids singing each to each
The mermaids will not sing today.
