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.

[Paradox of Life]

Catfight

Ablaze with cold fury,
These two gleaming eyes,
Staring at two others,
Two he did despise,

Their tails upright and tense,
Their fur like needle tips,
Their sharp teeth bared, their weapons,
Like poison, saliva drips,

Feline brows are furrowed,
Staring each other down,
No game, no sign of merriment,
Bloodthirsty, malicious frowns,

Then one leapt at the other,
A hiss, a scratch, a growl,
A feline yowl of agony,
A sound so very foul,

The dust arising from the bricks,
Bloodstains on the tile,
One is lying on the ground,
The victor adorns a smile.

"Let this be a lesson,
My silly former rival
We are strays, no rules, you see?
I'm better fit survival."
