I'll Close The Door Behind Me

[Tiger the Lion]

I've always been a big advocate for the internet and the information superhighway. I still am. It boggles the mind just how much wisdom we've accrued over the years, no matter how self-deprecating we can get.

But the internet is a complicated organism with organs that serve different purposes. The din of the louder bits of it is getting to me. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just hard to be heard - it's also getting difficult to listen, to hear anything meaningful.

I've sailed to your shores seeking a community that's slightly more insular, slightly more happy to play by its own rules. This seems to be the case from what I've seen. What you've showcased as your best work has moved me. I hope to add to your shared canon, or at least bear witness to its continued creation.

You'll see me around!

Edit: Consider joining us for "Let's Pretend it's April" - a cousin of National Poetry Month where we try to write 30 poems in 30 days with simple prompts. Feedback is welcome but not required for LPIA. A great way to dip the feet in.
