Hello my dear girl, and welcome to our site, with all my heart.
My name is +Steven. Â I am a poet and composer, and I spend a lot of time here. Â I am Poet in Residence hereabouts.
I see you have been greeted by my dear friend Shawn, and that is good; he is very nice and will be most helpful to you.
I am happy to greet you in this way as well, and I would also tell you that my sister Dara is here too, as well as my daughter +Franziska; we three are Moderators here.
We don't have any sort of age restrictions or anything like that. Â I have a wonderful twelve year-old son named Teddy, and he is certainly not the sort of person who should ever be restricted by age! Â "Adults" have much to learn from those whom they consider "children."
If you would be interested in reading my poems, you can see my recent ones here on our poetry board; for example, just today I posted my Transcendental Sonnet #24.
If you would be further interested, I have a poetry homepage, at:
http://brainmeta.com/poemdirectory/stevelance.htmlShould anyone say anything unpleasant about me, do not hesitate to ask Shawn, Dara, or +Franziska about it; there are a few members gone sour hereabouts through self-pity and general maliciousness, apparently, so I don't know what you might read of me; I employ a new software function which protects me from their posts, for they had become tasteless and offensive.
But I assure you, I am not the devil, nor am I even the slightest bit unpleasant. Â I have four children and many dear friends, and four hundred and some wonderful members here on this site which Shawn, Dara, and I created. Â I hope you will never be swayed by the petty backbiting of a few failed poets and mentally-disturbed individuals lurking in the shadows (don't worry, they won't hurt you; indeed they will probably be sloppy nice to you... they only mean to hurt me, but I find them so funny that their impotent fury is in vain).
All my love to you, my new and dear friend!
I am in unbreakable solidarity with you, always!
Do keep in touch.
Unfold like the lotus.
Namaste.
+Steven Curtis Lance, A.S.C.A.P.
Poet in Residence and Moderator
