NOT A SAMPLE: my writing has thus far been professional in nature, I am starting my journey in poetry, right here, right now. I will post samples when I have the balls.
Welcome to WOL, Suzanne. Wonderful to have you with us. Write your heart out. Never be discouraged if you have no comments, because that doesn't mean your poem has not been read - busy times and busy people as with everywhere.
Make comments on other poets' works when you can; or hit the 'flower button'. Such interaction is always appreciated.
The love of writing poetry will be a great joy to you.
