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.

That poor little Girl
I decided to take a walk around my block
As I passed the alleyway I heard a continuous knock
I stopped to glance at what the noise might be
I gasped and covered my mouth, my eyes decieved me
There was a girl no more than 3 or 4
Her eyes are cloudy and her skin burned from the splintered door
She looked at me with such shame and sorrow
She touched my cheek and asked if my soul she could borrow
I pushed her away but she held my wrist tight
Her skin was pale, like the moon. Pure white.
She opened her mouth but her words did not spill
she collasped in my arms, she had taken poison pills
I looked down at the girl that had once been mine
oh yes, my poor daughter...not at all was she fine
