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!

March Original Thread


Rampant and it was
continuing to control their thoughts
the beat of the drum commanding
attentions of all dwellers here
heart beat racing to match
barely making it
how do they do that?
foot steps falling into rythm
unconscious of the path they take
nothing left in the wake
but those that
follow, follow
step back, center
"Dont lead, we lead."
"March"
The voice harsh, hard calling out
on top of this surface
a satisfying sound coming
from each repeating step
each resounding pound
follow, follow
"Move along."
march.

and the drummer falls
no witness to it all
but one who resisted
one so true
turned back into the march for you
"march."

a little bit of courage here
a little bit of truth withheld
let us lead the drummer back
let us lead the drummer back
let us lead the drummer back
to the place where he fell
He shall march again
In time with the drum
let us begin to fix it all
let us move on from the fall
let us lead the drummer back
"Don't lead, we lead
MARCH!"
