Recent comments made, I apologize to Jess and Eumopolis for any comments rendered to be inappropriate. While my statements were based on perceived abuse of another member, it is now my understanding that such is the way of the world now. My sincerest apologies to all.

I am forced to make an apology to my fellow poets Jess and Eumoplus. I will not stutter like the Fonz and say "I was wwww- wwwrrr- wwwrrrooonng. " I was wrong!
I confused their right to comment on the poem's content with a personal attack on another poet.
Such was not the case! I can only admit that I was bitten by a bug of self-righteous morality, and rushed to defend an out dated and indefensible code. However... From now forward, I will ask no quarter and there will be none given! I will play by the new rules. ~ Geezer

I am forced to make a public apology to Jess and fellow poet Eumoplus for exercising their right to voice their opinion on religion and beliefs. I was wrong! I'm not going to stutter like the Fonz and say

Hello everybody. I hope all have a great new year.
We are going to start the new year by getting folks who write mainly free verse or mainly in rhyming western classic to get outside their comfort zones by having entrants write a single poem in both forms. Click on "contest" to see parameters and don't forget to put (January contest) beside title. Hope ya'll have fun........stan

There are many online options for some of the poet’s most basic tools, the word processor, dictionary and rhyming dictionary, and thesaurus. At Neopoet, it is highly recommended that you type your poetry in a separate word processor, then copy and paste it into Neopoet (here’s a video tutorial on how to copy and paste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c66pvfilotA originally shared with us by Weirdelf: thanks Jess!).
