Recently one of the poems I wrote was published in an annual anthology at school. (Wow, four word alliteration.) I had submitted three poems and a piece of a story I'm working on. Now, I don't write poetry too often, but mostly because I prefer to write narratives. But, sometimes I just need to vent literarily, and poetry is a good an outlet. Perhaps that is why only one was selected. Since it is just me and my feelings, the form is rough. Not like the "pretty" poems that made it in the booklet. Which, I'll admit, there were only 3 or 4 good poems in the whole thing. And they didn't make sense. They didn't tell a story, convey an emotion, or paint a mental picture. They were just a scrambling of "word vomit."
The poem I submitted was written last September. And recently, I was playing around with the movie making program on my laptop, and used it as a "test." It turned out better than I hoped. I posted it a while ago on Facebook, but I'll post it again here, so that more people can read it.
Enjoy.
