Thanks, red; I just thought it appropriate to acknowledge the poets, here, whose names; no longer appear, alongside their words............

ok posted that twice, internet is slow tonight, maybe I was getting impatient, lol

Thanks, salamuna

Thankyou ladies,

Those comments are appreciated. There are various reasons, why a poets' name, does not appear next to their words.

The latter half (more recent), of the poetry here, is well indexed. Our words will survive us; in this electronic media.

Does a name matter, when when submit poetry, here? For mine, it does; in as far as a reader can appreciate a poet (writer); for who and what they were/are

I've never wanted any form of payment, for what I write here. Just to be remembered, along side my CS user name, is all I ask

Everyone has something unique to contribute, in the form of poetry, here.

For the non-poets; why do we write, here? There are many reasons; and everybody's writing, and motives are different.

On a fundamental level; it would be because Poetry is Art (one of the creative art forms, along with music, sculpture, painting, etc).

Posts write here, because it is who we are, and we do what we must. Poetry is a universal art form; which existed before the Ancient Greeks, and will exist well beyond the present time.

I feel honoured to remember the "unknown poets"

Man is an art making animal..

..Poets write here... (See above). A few minor typos, not to worry, for now; people get my gist. I can always resubmit this comment, perfectly edited, and proof read, like I want my poetry to be. But this will do for now..

Yeah, a few typos. Not to worry, I can fix this up, later. My laptop internet, is slow tonight. So using my phone. I've always found mobile phone autospellers, a difficult and clumsy thing to navigate...

Thank you, ladies..a bear is required here....
