Publishing Poem

A publishing poem is one worth attempting to submit for promotion. I have entered a number of poems into various contests and will be interested in the results.

Faith

Fanstory.com 11.6.09 Holiday Poetry Contest

Empty Things

Fanstory.com 11.7.09 Cinquain Poetry Contest (5 lines, syllables 2,4,6,8,2)

I dreamed
Of love’s essence
And saw your face appear
Others tried to usurp your throne
In vain.

Fanstory.com 11.7.09 The Words are the Same Contest(Use at least 9 of the following 10 words in a poem: smile - heart - escape - fantasy - believe - little - motion - fantastic - distant – friction)

The fantasy of hopelessness
That distant friction brings
Will disappear, I do believe,
When hearts in motion spring
To right the wrongs, escape the snares
Which trap us for a while
And dare unleash that timeless balm,
A gentle little smile.

Fanstory.com 11.8.09 Short Love Poem Contest (15 words or less)

A look, a smile,
A blushing cheek -
Our hearts have met;
You needn’t speak.

Fanstory.com 11.9.09 Naani Poetry Contest (4 lines; 20-25 syllables)

The listener marveled, “I am speechless!”
Yet talked of it all day.
A slip of the tongue
Wouldn’t you say?

Fanstory.com 11.9.09 New Arrival Poetry Contest (Acrostic)

Restore my soul; let sin depart -
Eternal God, please cleanse my heart.
Strike out my past year’s dumb mistakes;
O’er look the grief my darkness makes.
Let each day start a brand new race
Under the flags of hope and grace.
Though tempted sore, I’ll do what’s right;
I’ll not give in without a fight.
On your great love I must depend;
Now bring me proudly to year’s end.

I'll keep you posted as I reach out and experiment with these and other forms of poetry.
