Hi all
I\'m here because Jerry...who was Skorg back in the day....the leader of probably the only guild in an online game that actively encouraged poetry and who made me the first honorary bard...And although this is meant to be my intro not his, I can\'t help adding this here for old times\' sake:Da Beast You want to know what makes a beast?Our Skorg, you know, he's not the least.He stands a head above the restHis armour's grand - it's quite the bestPerhaps this makes a beast.... You ask me now what makes a beastI've seen Skorg eat - devour a feastOf bones and meat and beer and allLeft-over foes who took a fall .. .Maybe this makes a beast... I wonder now what makes a beast?Now Skorg, he talks from west to eastAnd  whispers some, has chat rooms going,While grinding hard , and drops are flowing...Perchance this makes a beast . . . I think I know what makes a beastAnd makes our Skorg the beast released!A heart of gold and will of steelDedication, mirth and zeal.Yes, this makes a BEAST.

(I hope I don\'t need to explain gaming parlance, but if I do -grinding in this case means killing critters for experience to level up your character, and drops are item drops - things that can be sold for gold in the game)

That said - I am a mother of three sons - youngest nearly 14 and on the autistic spectrum, middle nearly finished school, and eldest almost finished his degree in politics and policy. I am an anaesthetics nurse and like to joke that that makes me a necromancers\' assistant, since anaesthetists kill and resurrect people all day long (sort of). 
I also write. there is a link to my blog in my profile, and I have been a member of the Fellowship of Australian Writers(FAW) more or less since we arrived in Australia from South Africa nearly ten years ago. I\'ve had a few things published here and there - poems, a bit of writing on writers block in a book put out by FAW, and over the years I\'ve learnt heaps.

Welcome to Poetry & Art! Online, I hope you will enjoy spending some time within our community and site. I also hope it encourages you to write more and share, as will your passion for writing inspire others.

I absolutely love the fact you have shared a poem within your introduction.

It\'s certainly a nice way to say hello.
