| Milites Gregarius | Post; Hail and well met!I found these forums while doing a search for military poems, of all things. Guests apparently cannot see more than 2 or 3 pages of a thread at a time, so I registered to read the rest. Now that I am here, I am interested enough to check things out, and perhaps post something on occasion. Note that I often browse and post in forums while drinking, so expect bad puns, obscure references, and the like mixed in with whatever response seems pertinent to the thread I am posting in. For the record, my military time and current job status is: US Army, Reserves, currently teaching high school while awaiting next deployment. Hobbies are reading - science fiction, fantasy, poetry, a touch of historical fiction, and military history - I bet the last surprises most forum members. I play Magic the Gathering and host a game club at my high school that effectively does the same, although we will play board games if there is interest. Overall, this looks like an interesting forum. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius |  Welcome Digital Wanderer. I arrived here by the same route. We do have a Poets Lair thread, and I am sure there would be interest in military poems. |

A bad habit of mine is that I get too easily distracted when searching forums for specific threads. I find lots of interesting threads to read, but rarely the one I am actually looking for. Thanks, everyone. | |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Surely. Look on 'general chit-chat' for Poets Lair. Fairly new thread, plenty of room there for seekers and creators and sharers of poetry generally, and why not military. I came looking for military poetry connections, but at the same time i got sucked into the 'last man standing' debates. I go away and write more of what I loosely call poetry every time i get up off the canvas! Be lucky. On the subject of military poets, are you familiar with the Dymock circle, just pre 1914-18 WW1, which included Wilfred Owen , Rupert Brooke and Robert Frost among others?

| Nuclear Duck Hunter | Welcome, Digital Wanderer. I was an Analog Wanderer before there were Digital Wanderers.  We had more steps to wander than just two.
