This is a big thank you to all of the poets on this site who have ever given me feedback in the past. One of my poems recently placed first in a contest and I know I couldn't have brought my writing to the place that it is at without the help of those who have helped to critique my poems on this site.

Well, I had to withdraw from the election. I just found out I'm pregnant, and if it goes anything like the first one, I definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with being on the AEC. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to run, but I'm looking forward to seeing our new family member that is on the way. :-)

I've been using a couple of different poetry sites, since most only allow one poem post a day and I need feedback on a lot of poems. There has been a lot of debate going on about reviewing. I believe constructive criticism is the best way to grow as a poet, you just have decide if that's truly want when you're posting. When you get to the point where you want to grow, you'll have to grow a thick skin, and keep in mind that we all have room for improvement. Now in light of this, I want to share with all of you a "review" I received on another poetry site.
