Poetry

Mon Feb 25, 2008, 8:21 PM
Alright, so clearly I'm actually quite a bit better at poetry than I though I was. A while a go I submitted a poem called Sky Treasures to Poetry.com. They liked it, I got an Editor's Choice award and everything. And its going to be published in a huge book that I forgot the name of it.

So I got another e-mail from them today, I had to submit another poem, they are going to publish the first one along with the second one in "The Best Poems and Poets of 2007".

...
...
... Yes, they are taking about me...

What the HECK!

I've never thought about writing poetry seriously, I've only done them for class and for a slight pass time thing. They use to be really morbid too. I'll eventually get my "Blood Stains" poem up here to give a general thought as to what I mean.

So, I'm going to be published, not as the author that I'm hoping for but hey being a poet's nice too.

...
...
... What the heck am I talking about! I'm EXTATIC!!!!!

I did that too.... it's almost a scam.

They send you all this stuff to make you feel good, and then tell you that it's all worthless unless you pay for publishing and membership fees. I put up an email filter to block the 15 or so reminders about "how good I am" that they send me on a weekly basis.

Nessa did it too.

Not to say that your work isn't good, because I'm sure it is, but it's mostly a campaign for profit.

It is kinda nifty to have people send you certificates saying that you got editors choice, and a reserved page in a book dedicated to the top poets of 2007, and invitations to elite societies and conventions and stuff... But I get the feeling they send that to anyone who knows how to punctuate ANYTHING.

Love to be loved,
Hate to be hated.
Love not to be hated,

I did my proofread certified, copyright submission online, and I couldn't complete the submission without purchasing the book and/or a plaque of it. I never tried sending a hard copy, but don't be surprised if they send it back asking you to buy something first.
