Say "Hi" in this Thread

[milo]

Hello.
I'm not sure if this is a right place, as I wouldn't exactly call myself a poet per se. I write extremely rarely, and, being ESL, almost everything I could post here would be singular examples of my own poetic translations of my own original poems in my mother tongue.
I mostly write poetry as a deeply personal therapeutic act of spewing out suppressed emotions, Dostoyevsky's "nadryv", if you will. I'm seeking critique as a way to find out, whether these feelings and emotions are well enough formulated, and at all discernable to other people. And of course plainly grammatically too

well, if you are looking for that type of critique - this would be a place to find it.
If you are looking for a community of poets (albeit slightly smaller) - this would be a place to find it.
If you are just looking for a place to do a little poetic research - this would be the place to find it.
If you are looking for a place just to hang out and discuss poetry - well, you know th rest.

Welcome to the Pen!
