has anyone out there ever heard of poetry.com? well, when i was a bit younger i entered one of their contests. i didn't win, but i got published. it seams that they request about two poems a year from me anymore and they all get published without questions. for the past couple of years i have been included in theire best poets of the year compilations. i get a letter requesting a new unpublished poem for them to print. i just got another request this week, so i pulled this out of my ass:
in desperate times do not despair
just look left and i'll be there
never right cuz right is wrong
the frightfull night is not so long
the frost can not bring you harm
just so long as you remain on my arm
the furnace burning in my chest
will assure us both some peacefull rest
so lay your head and shut your eyes
now drift away, let your spirit rise
i'll meet you when your path is clear
together forever, me and my dear
sappy, is it not? i've never actually won any of thier cash prizes, but poets never make any money untill they are dead. kind of like painters. speaking of money, i'm about to go interview for a job with the sherriffs department. i had no idea it would be with the sheriffs dep. i just thought it was a data entery job. well, wish me luck.
bleh

thank you for posting a poem in my journal!
you're awesome.
I used to be SO efficient with replying to comments, but i dont have the time to reply straight away now.. and it quite often means that someone iwll have left me 2 comments and i end up replying to them in the wrong order, which just confuses people
it's my uni's fault. they should stop giving me work so i can spend more time on the internet. hehe
did you have a good weekend?
