Well I just got some GOOD news. Brightened my day no end. I submitted some poetry to Poetry.com (http://www.poetry.com) a few weeks ago. I had good feedback from friends I thought it couldn't hurt and there were the chance to win some money.
I got a letter today telling me I am a semi-finalist for a cash prize and they also want to include my poem in a printed version of this years poems as well as having the poem online...yay.

So here it is.
Meloncholy Maiden Moon
Flew here on her silver broom
She made you laugh
She made you cry
In her poetry she wished to die
Now the stories have been said & done
Our maiden now must turn and run
Her words were laid in fear and pain
And they may yet be real again
But always as ever
She will endeavour
To greet the new day with a smile
Her fair hair and slate blue eyes
Hide a dark heart full of tears and lies.
So the darkness fades
Just for a little while
It hides behind her wiley smile
And should the darkness re-appear too soon
Thwarted will it be
By your Meloncholy Maiden Moon

Wow! Well done!!! :wow: :surprised :heyhey:

That's great news.

Deep and meaningful (sad too) poem. I can see that you've put a lot of emotion from the last few months into it.

Let's hope the next one is written in happier circumstances eh?

actually it was written at the beginning of the year - saying that tho i guess it is as applicable now as it was then :)

Moon

I did that too Moon.

And the wanted to (and said they did) publish my poem (2 wishes) ....

I did get the distinct impression however that it was some kind of scam and they'll just want you to buy the book.

Maybe I'm wrong ...

Reading the letter it did sound a bit sussed - but I got something that someone other than my mates prepared to put on the net - which is nice without anything else.

To behonest I thought that was the worst of the ones I submitted.

Moon Maiden

When i saw the title of this thread i thought it must be about some chinese poet called Yay Me,seriously!
