Well hello there kindred spirits, my name is Kelly and I am a chemist from Indianapolis. I am a huge proponent of all the arts but I am especially drawn to music and poetry. I have always been interested in poetry, but I think I enjoy reading it more than writing it...if I was as talented as some of you folks I suspect it would be the opposite. I only started writing in my twenties when shit got dark and I still cannot compose a happy poem to save my life....I only find inspiration in my pain, frustration, and anger. Likewise, I really only enjoy other people's poetry when it is dark and exposes their pain. I am also not a huge fan of poetry that rhymes, although there are quite a few on this site that are making me re-think that statement. I feel so honored to be a part of this site; there are so many talented writers here who enjoy poetry as much as I do....
