Hi folks! Although I've been dropping in once in a while (and it'll be like that for...well, probably forever!) I've not taken time out to say a fromal "Hello!". So, "Hello!"

I'm formally trained in Biochemistry (which I can still spell - but only just!), and now work in IT and spend most of my working days drawing pictures and answering emails in a chaotic, changing world! My favourite quote wrt my role is "An Architect's job is making sub-optimal decisions mostly in the dark!" It keeps the wolf from the door, though.

With regard to poetry and literature - I have no formal background, I've dabbled in the past and have only relatively recently become aware of the various formal (and not so formal!) approaches. I lean to the formal end as it resonates with the logical nature of the work I am paid for...so, completing a structure such as a Sonnet feels more like solving a crossword puzzle than it does an expression of emotion or an outpouring of feeling.

Anyway, thats me for now! See you in another year, perhaps?

regards

DF

Hi Dragonfly

Here's me formally saying hello back  

I hope it won't be a year before we see you again.
