[Rose Novick]

Hi. I am Rose. You all know me. I used to use a different name. Now I use this name. I am much happier now. I hope you are all happy, too.


EDIT: this message proved a bit more cryptic than intended, so:

I thought the last name would be sufficient to make clear who I am (I intended no secrecy!), but since a few folks have been puzzled: I was the non-Poochigian "Aaron" who used to putter about these parts. I'm trans; I don't go by that name anymore; please don't use it; and while we're at it: she/her pronouns.

Hi Rose,

I was just on my way to bed, when I spotted your thread. It's great to see you, and I look forward to reading you around the 'sphere. I am happy, thank you! I'm glad you're much happier now

Best wishes,
Fliss

Welcome back! It's been a while. Great to hear that you're happier. I'm looking forward to seeing some poems.

Hey! Welcome back. I'm very glad to hear you're happier. And my daughter's a Rose, so...good choice!

[Rose Novick]

Thanks Fliss, Matt, Mark. : )

I took it from Homer's "ῥοδοδάκτυλος Ἠώς" ("rosy-fingered dawn"). The original poetic perception...

If I knew you from before, did we have big disagreements? If not, that's OK too.

[Rose Novick]

Allen, I believed we maxed out at "light tiff"

[W T Clark]

I look forward to reading your poetry again.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet.

I know which Rose I hope you are. But welcome back, in any case.
