Hey, I am a new member and I am interested into talking to some poets. I write my own poetry but I would be interested into selling them to song writers or even selling a published book to buyers. If you could give me any information or just want to talk about it write to me at Uniquedreamer04@aol.com

I do a lot of poetry in my head as I think it up, but (rather ignorantly) never write most of it down.

I dunno as a poem I really like it but when you factor in the political portion i'm just not sure but otherwise very good

I tend to write lyrics now more than poems and I tend to change old poems rythms and put them to song I have no clue why

Hey! It's nice to meet some fellow poets like yourselves. I also have poetry published on www.poetry.com and I'll be sure to look at a few by you guys. Here's one of my own that I'm rather proud of. Give me your critism.

Sharp Crossing
You walked along a barbed wire fence
Between this field and the next
Ambling and Happy, showing no sign of what was about to occur
You waited for the farmer to turn his tractor toward home
You waited for the horses to move to another patch of grass
That’s when you climbed the fence
You thought no one was looking
But I was
I saw you slip over to the other side
Tear your clothes
Cut your skin
But what did that matter now?
You were limping toward a new home with new rules in that faraway field
As the farmer disappeared behind his barn
As the horses returned to smell your blood on the grass
You were the one who was hurt
But I am the one who is crying…

Sense many of you are "Poetry Literate" I pray that ya'll see this for what it really is, not what it seems. This is a poem I hold close to my heart, so be gentle with it okay?
Oh, and www.poetry.com is no fraud, I've recieved newletters, emails, personalized letters, and college packets.

Hi...

I guess I could call myself a poet...I usually just say I write poems (lol). (by the way, the "i'm crazy but not insane" thing is my quote, it's not part of the poem or anything (lol) Here is one...

"DEFINE TIRED"

I'm tired
Completely exhausted
From the constant moment of walking
through narrow halls

Halls overlap each other
Screaming at those who bravely step
And cautiously speak of the cutting unspoken tangles
of disconnected hands

Hands strap tightly to their seats
Fragile memories repeat bitter sweetly
Talking calligraphy into
brains of hearts

Hearts drive into poles
Without the safety of seatbelts protecting
Smashing their sensitive heads, causing hospital beds
to never sleep

Just a warning, though. Poetry.com, although it's not shut down, was revealed to be a fraud. I forgot the details because it's been so long, but I remember there being a significant something wrong with that website. I had work on there as well.

Here is one of my poems.
Blind Mind
Every time I wait and try,
I end up with a frown and tears in my eye.
As your fingers touched my lips,
My heart would jump as though it did flips.
Your face so clear and in my mind,
All the words were all so kind.
Now these feelings are so could but so blind.
A piece of me will always love you,
I just wish you would feel the pain I do.
A recycled heart so used so tired,
Just open my chest and wait for the arrow to be fired.
Now my emotions are out of control,
As I stare at the sky looking for a hole.
Now I imagine a pool full of blood,
As my salty tears have dripped a flood.
Now I know not to give life any hope,
As I stare at the bottom as I slip off the rope.
Now I fould my place in Hell, I will always remember those sky blu eyes,
And the touch of your skin;so soft, so perfect and pale..Written by Sarah D. Shaver
