Poet's Corner

[The Original dpb5!]

OK...I'll share....

Yes, I like to write poetry. Here is one by way of introduction that I submitted to poetry.com

I have been pleased that since submitting it four or five months ago, they snail mailed me that this poem would be included in an anthology to be printed in 2003. In addition, just last week, I received an invitation from them to register for the annual Poet's Convention to be held in Orlando March 1 thru 3 for a chance to recite this poem and win a Grand Prize of $20,000.

I would be very interested in any and all critique regarding this poem, and any encouragement that I should spend the $595 registration fee that poetry.com requires in order to "compete".

Here's the link to my poem on their website....
