Tree's Thoughts
Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to My Site!
Since this is my first blog post, I must start with a big Thank You to everyone who has encouraged and helped me along the way in this publishing journey. There have been many, too many to list here! Could I have done it without them? - probably, but they sure made it a lot easier and more fun as well! Thanks must also go to those who are still supporting me by purchasing "The Language of Poetry Forms".
During this publishing journey, I ran the gamut of emotions! From doubt and fear through frustration to hope and anticipation and finally to a sense of achievement and satisfaction. At every step there were many friends and family who were there with words of encouragement and practical help.
Special Thanks must go to Ms. Jacquii Cooke (webmistress of JPicForum.info) who got my treegood.com site up and running and is teaching me how to manage it. Since I am near computer illiterate, this lady must have the patience of a saint! I have been bombarding her with HELP emails but she has not yet lost patience. Mostly she just laughs at me and answers my questions.
For the Poetry Form of the Month, I have found a most fitting form for October's Halloween scariness! The Monotetra, with it's repeating end phrase, seemed to write itself. The poem is titled: From Carmarthen, and it is a little bit creepy because of what it doesn't say. Carmarthen is an actual place in Wales but really does not have much to do with the story line of the poem. I titled it this only because I couldn't think of a better one - so if you have any suggestions, PLEASE leave a comment!
Your comments are not only taken seriously, welcomed and appreciated, they are also NECESSARY. Anything you can suggest that would improve this site, my poetry or my writing in general is something that I NEED to know!
Coming in November and in honor of Remembrance Day, the form for the Poetry Form of the Month must be an Englyn Milwr - because it is also known as the Soldier's Englyn.
Until then, I hope that everyone has a safe and
Happy Halloween!

Hi Tree,

<br> I completely relate to your words describing your publishing journey. The emotions were the same for me. The encouragement of friends along the path has been a driving force. Those friends are appreciated in abundance. Love the website--very together and easy to navigate!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Helen! Support, encouragement and appreciation goes a very loooooooong way! I can't really take credit for the looks of the site - freewebs does it all! (Thank God for that - I have no idea what I'm doing here!) LOL!
