			"I'm planning to add a lot of new features to this site soon, meanwhile guest writers can email me your poems. <br><br>You've probably noticed that some of the site's features are not working yet - like the random phrase - other's are limited and so on. Well I expect to code an automatic posting mechanism form poems, a space for comments on my own and others poems, more info for authors of guest poems and a few new nice features. I'm also trying to keep the site updated with my own poems that are still not online (I've got about 10 older ones which I haven't typed into the computer yet). I really hope this site can gather a lot of poets soon, sharing and commenting on their works among other intelectual and spiritual derivations.",

The new design, layout and some codding had been done quite some months ago, today I only finished codding and porting the older contents here. <br><br>I really hope this new version pleases you.",

			"I've written poetry for some time now (3 years). It was with great pleasure that I received all the compliments about what I write coming from people around the world, in fact that was one of the few things that kept me writing and making my poems available here. <br>Other was (still is), as most of you who read my poems can see, all the emotions I feel in my life that can't be put out any other way... <br><br>During these 3 years a lot has changed in my life and I came to feel wonderful emotions (both Dark and Light/Love/Happy), I never thought this possible. But this is life, feeling new experiences, growing inside to make a better world outside. <br><br>But, as I said, a lot has changed during this time, and change after change have been leading my poetry in a path I have come to dislike, so now I won't sit and try to write as I did some times. I'll give it time, wait until my heart provides me with all I need to make a poem. Instead of searching for feelings I will do as I did when I started writing, I'll let my heart guide me. This way I will certainly write less poems, but rest assured as every and each one of those will be filled with ... me, again. <br><br>Poetry is the language of the soul. <br><br><b>TheDruid</b>"];
