Welcome to Hive! I think it's awesome that you found us. There is a good amount of poetry and writer focused communities on here that support each other so I would definitely check out the communities section. It looks like they've already recommended some for you since that's not my specialty.
I want to also offer a piece of advice since you're new. One of the best ways to be successful on here and to gain attention as well as followers is for you to go to peoples posts and engage with them. Talking with others when your new is a great way to learn how to use the platform, ask questions and learn some of the in's and out's of what so many of us call home.
Once you do that you will gain a foothold and I'm sure you will gain recognition as it looks like your writing style is polished, at least on the first post.
With engaging with lots of people you will make friends, connections and it will improve the platform that much more to have another person going around like a lot of us do and getting people talking, getting more attention on here.
Lastly I want to offer that I have free account creation tokens if any of your friends want to use one, let me know and I can hook you up with it!
Thank you for your candid advice. I took notes. Appreciate the support.
Please feel free to point me towards any other poetry platform here. Have only found one so far. Thank you.
