Here is encouragement to write and share your own poems, to try out the resources which are increasingly available to us here. You'll also find a good read. What more could any potential Scribbler ask for?

For me, as a new 'Scribbler', the word always engendered thoughts of three-year-olds finger painting in pre-school, or the absentminded doodles of an adult listening on the telephone to a particularly dull conversation. I did not think of poetry, in any form whatsoever, as thrillsville. That is, until now. 

Looking through the works on display here I've come to realize that when the Scribble in question is produced by an adult with various good, and bad, life experiences, what is written holds a strong power. This power is the ability to affect others emotionally, to influence their thinking, and to communicate ideas.

But how to attract people who have never before experienced this, the people for whom poetry is still dullsville? It still takes much more than straight verse to draw me in, it takes picture and it takes some background or history to each poem, and on each poet. As an amateur you might say I require someone to do some 'interpreting' for me and Scribble does that beautifully. 

Allow Scribble to open new doors and draw you into new worlds. Exercise the imagination that as a child ran rampant, for you too can be a fantastic 'Scribbler'. You too can soak in the powerful magic of what others have enjoyed or suffered. Most of all, you too can write.
