Hello, I used to love reading and writing poetry. I recently revived this passion after an abusive relationship. I'm a bit mediocre with poetry I must admit, but I'm hoping that I will grow with practice. I enjoy reading people's poems here too so that's fun!

One other thing, I'm hoping I will gain the confidence to write my poems and put it out there, knowing that I still have lots to learn. There was a smaller local writing group that did poetry and I felt both intimidated and overwhelmed with the already seasoned poets there as I was the only one who wasn't experienced enough to keep up with them.

But I am happy to embark on this journey that I rediscovered for myself. :)

I joined a week ago [Edited because I have to have exact statements for some reason] and today I made the mistake of commenting on this person's poem and have received nonstop harassment.

Does anyone know what this guy is talking about? Care to explain it to me?

I Didn't Know...

Roses are red, Violets are blue, When I first met you, I didn't think much of you.

But....

Roses aren't all red, And violets will never be blue, I told myself you weren't special, But somehow, I kept looking at you.

I ignored the signs, Thought my heart was immune, But now I see it clearly I've been falling for you.

And yet again... Roses aren't all red, And violets will never be blue, I never thought I'd feel this way, But now, all I want is you.

I just recently joined, and everything was pretty calm until I made the mistake of commenting on a poem by Enigma-Abyss and I have received multiple insulting comments/dms regarding the way I look and write.
I don't understand what they are talking about.
Is this a normal thing on the site?

Yo, Underground Poetry fam!

Just dropping in to send some serious vibes your way. I'm hyped to connect with this community of word-slingers, truth-tellers, and rhythm rebels. The raw energy and unapologetic voices I've seen here are inspiring, and I'm stoked to be a part of the movement. Whether I'm spitting fire or just soaking it all in, I'm ready to be moved, challenged, and uplifted by the power of poetry.

Glad to be here!
I always thought i was a rational guy, until i'm into poetry, LOL~~~
And i love Emily Dickinson!
