Bytes of Poetry is 115 poems written by 80 poets, selected from over 55,000 posted by people worldwide at Lovestories.com. The poetry was not judged on form, structure or general poetry 'rules,' but rather on its effect on readers. Topics include love, romance, nature, family, friendship, divorce, social issues, religion, children, divorce, hope, and more. The poets, aged 14-65+, come from various backgrounds and walks of life.
Years ago, when I began writing, I joined a website populated by other poets and writers called "Lovestories", owned by Alanna Webb. It was a tight-knit group and we learned a lot from each other.
The website is long gone now. This little anthology is priceless to me because it contains the poetry of so many of my friends from Lovestories. Three of my own poems are inside, as well.
