Kirui Frank junior is thankful to Eliot,
The founder of this vast site
The pioneer of hellopoetry
The mentor and mother of both young and old
Gents and ladies who know little
About the vast field of poetry
I'm specifically thankful
For in this site,
I met a mother....a lecturer who cares
She corrects me and advice me
She whips me when I mess repetitively
Name withheld for good reason
Here I met old friends who proved real
I thank you
Rao
Quinfinn
Pradip.
Amongst many
I met agemates who proved real
I love you
You are many
I can't mention all of you
I met young people who proved good writers
I am happy for all of you.
Save for two pirates
Who betrayed themselves by sending mails
To dupe us
I am also happy for them,
For we get to learn from you...

In all of the mentioned
I love to share to the world
The feelings of my happiness
In the poems you post
From love
To hate
To days journals
To short orature
To songs
To puns
To short composition
To historic poems
And others
I learn from every piece
I like every piece
In all I see the beginner,the pioneer,the one and only Eliot.
And this honest thankful note be granted
Someday I will donate something better
To show my concern and heartfelt love.
Thank you again.

My name is Lucy but the great unwashed knows me well by the name Dontre,
don't ask where that dub  came from coz I'm pretty sure I don't even know the story behind it (laughs).
If we've ever crossed path by know you know I'm different,at odds from what the community perceives a girl should look like.......people from my community would label me as a stud  (honestly speaking I don't do well with labels ) but from the contemporary world they would call me a walking demon,devil an outcast atleast those are the few I can remember.
You are probably wondering why they would call me such vicious names so let me expound.
In senior year back in highschool I deduced something about myself......Me and my agemates  we were all raised to believe that a girl should one day walk down the aisle to meet their 'John' and get married to him but see it was divergent  for me,fact  is I wanted to become espoused to  'Samantha' not 'John.'
I knew I liked girls but ofcourse no one would accept me for who I am (the world is full of homophobic humans)so I kept it to myself hid it in that safe place deep down until I was worn out of living a lie.
An year ago you would ask me how it felt to live in the closet and I would tell you good coz it's no one's business to savvy my concealed  existence  but ask me now how it feels been out and I will tell you that I made my private life people's duty coz I don't care anymore what they think of me,,,  I am me
