You stole my journal?!?! How dare you! jk. Yeah I think once I get more stuff uploaded I'm going to try the comment swaps. I would say that my poetry is probably my weakest part.
Creepy, I was reading your journal when I got your request. Anyway, welcome to the site. You should get more feedback on here, especially if you try comment swaps or something. I'll check out some of your poems.
Mibba should be a better place to get feedback than Wordpress. I like your goal of publishing something for your kids one day. If you want to get feedback, the best ways to go about it are by advertising (eg. putting stories in your signature and then posting on the forums), and by arranging to swap comments with somebody else. There's a thread on the General forum where you comment on the story above, and two more in the Writing Tips forum where you can do comment swaps with other people on the thread, or review the story requested by the last poster.
