My name is Carolyn Darnton, I've also been Carolyn Smalley and Carolyn Dennis. I'm 31 years old, which is way older than I feel sometimes and way younger at other times. I've been writing since I was very young and am trying to sort the good stuff from the bad to post on here. I like to read and write essays - poetry is much more difficult for me, but I love it too. I appreciate constructive criticism, but abhor punctuational criticism in my poetry, as the laws of punctuation are mostly allowed to be broken in poetry. Just look at ee cummings! However, if punctuational advice can make my poems better, I welcome it.
