Love Poetry

Can anybody be published in the Poetry.com anthologies? Are you only published if you buy the anthology? Also, does everybody who submits a poem get an offer for a Who’s Who in Poetry Pin and Medallion?

I love to write poetry and think it would be great to see some of my stuff published in their anthology, and the medallion looks great….but I kinda believe anyone who submits any piece of crap poem gets the same offer.

Does anyone know if the honor is real or they just want your money?

Letting go

Love is hard to leave
Letting go is harder than seems
A sweet gentle is all you might miss
But to someone else it’s heavenly bliss
Letting go doesn’t mean to stop loving
It means to stop hurting

Forgetting is hard to do
A kiss can’t be forgotten
A touch is easy to miss
To love and forget is highly impossible
Letting go doesn’t mean to forget the memories
It means to stop letting them haunt you
There was some spelling mistakes this should be better: Letting go

Love is hard to leave
Letting go is harder than it seems
A sweet gentle touch is all you might miss
But to someone else it’s heavenly bliss
Letting go doesn’t mean to stop loving
It means to stop hurting

Forgetting is hard to do
A kiss can’t be forgotten
A touch is easy to miss
To love and forget is highly impossible
Letting go doesn’t mean to forget the memories
It means to stop letting them haunt you

I write poetry, mostly love, romance, and things like that
But i am trying to write about new things. Things that are interesting. No boring stuff that have no meaning…
Can anyone give me any examples to write about? I am looking forward into writing a GREAT poem…. Can you help?
Thanks, these are some good ideas.
I also had another question, I want to publish my poems but do not know if i should or how. I have been told that my poetry was Excellent and that it seems that they are written by experts. I am only a high school student though. How do i publish them and what does it take? What do i need for it? and How will i get the prize?

I am a 15 year old girl. I am pretty artistic. I do great when writing essays and short stories. But I just cannot get into the flow of writing poetry. I love to read it, it’s beautiful. But it seems when I try to create a poem, it’s just cheesy and NOT GOOD. I am in a class that requires me to write a few poems a week and I am struggling. Advice and tips would be great! Thank you!

*p.s.- If you can’t help me, feel free to name your favorite poet so I can check him out(:

*btw here is a poem I wrote. No, I’m not very proud of it, I’m just showing you my abilities and how bad I need help. lol

The sun rises once again
Though my heart is still
I am a cactus
Living day by day
Absorbing enough to survive
Dry and unchanged
But the sun still sets
My voice is the sound
Of a falling tree in a lone forest
There but unheard
Still the wind blows on

I just wrote this, and it sounds more like a statment than a poem.

Since you have been gone,
I have felt like a bird that has just flown.
You may,
Never know, how well,
This feels,
To
Have flew,
But now,
That I
Know how to fly,
Do I
Still need your help?
Yes, I do still need you,
I am still young,
I need some one,
Like you
That can give me
What I need,
Love, care, and compassion,
That is all I need.
Please,
Stay by my side.
Forever.
If we never would have met,
Would my life still
Be the same?
Would yours?
Would ours?
I want you to know,
My love for you is deep.
It is as a circle, never ending,
It is never fading,
It is like a tree,
Growing stronger
Each day.
no.. I WROTE this… thank you very much!

I love to write and i usually write about deep, dark issues that i can relate to.

In extension english at school we are doing poetry and creative writing and our homework is to write a creative piece.

Should i have in one of my poems that are good, but dark.
Or write something “normal”?

How would a teacher react upon reading a poem about suicide/self harm ?

I can see you in my mind,
While I take a slow deep breath.
I’d like to see you in my arms,
And plaster a big smile on my face.
I can see the reason theres no lovin’,
For what i did before,
Im a new man, you can believe it,
I don’t love her anymore.
If you don’t believe me,
I can see why, you can shout it out.
I Want to say that im in love,
With you, the rest is history.
the question should of been to critique it
[to third answer]
it wasnt be meant to rhyme
poems dont have to rhyme
