Poetry Submissions, to cB news Options

[sadolakced acid]

hello poets!

the cB newspaper (letter, whatever) is looking to feature a poem (or two) every issue.

so: if you want us to consider your poem for featuring please:

1. Post your poem(s) in this thread
2. Post a link to the thread with your poem(s) (if you didn't make a thread already for your poem, then just say no thread)

please, no comments - if you wish to comment, click on the link to that poem.

please note that we are cannot feature every poem, and we may not be featuring the best poem; we also consider the emotion that the poem evokes, and if it fits with our publication. Poems submitted will always remain in consideration.


Pinned by Fae. Please do not remove until further notice, mods. Thank you!

[RiddleMeWonders]

Alyssa
Colorful bits of image flood my mind but I can not find the words
I felt so empty for days and after waiting for inspiration nothing came
Now I realize, sometimes, you must come to it.
It's in the childs hand has she raises the dandy lion telling me to make a wish
And blow all the new ones into the day
I sat outside for a bit on the swing set and watched her play, staining her dress but paying no mind
And a humbling came over me for no reason I can put
I felt inferior to this small, helpless child with baby blue eyes and tangled blonde hair
When I looked at other things I still felt it
The curious wonder but sadness of such a pretty world
And for a moment I'd seperated myself from my surroundings, felt as if I didn't belong in the picture
That something so twisted and so imperfect as I, did not belong in a world of innocence
And then I realized I'd felt that way before, and that was me either submitting to the demons
Or it could have just been that I was being absolutely naiive.
