I am going to post one of the poems by one of our newest members Chadword, this poem is from his recently released book of poetry"Koi and Crucifxes"

"Picking Yourself Back Up"

I'm sorry for my harsh words
But even I get angry sometimes
I'm sorry for so many things
I'm sorry for the times I was
inconsiderate and I mistreated you
I'm sorry for the hurtful phrases
Most of all I am sorry for the lying
I wish I could change things, but I can't
I wish you could accept me for who I am
But you didn't
You made it real easy
I have to pick myself up
Change my live
And get back on that crazy horse called life
I just wish you were there to ride with me
But this journey I have to go alone
Until I find that woman who accepts me
For exactly who I am

From The Mind of The Dark Knight

I want to say welcome to all of the new poets and reader that have joined the site.

Well summer is almost over, and the kids are heading back to school. So I am looking forward to hear what you have to offer as we head into the foll season.

Also, with football season starting I'm looking forward to read any poems that deal with any aspect of this sport.

Poem of The Month: Because Of You by Patricia

BECAUSE OF YOU,
I GOT MY SELF RESPECT BACK;
BECAUSE OF YOU,
YOU HELD IN THERE, NEVER LOOKING BACK!

BECAUSE OF YOU,
YOU HAD THE FAITH WHEN NO-ONE ELSE DID;
BECAUSE OF YOU,
I'M PATRICIA AGAIN, NO MORE COCAINE FITS!

BECAUSE OF YOU,
YOU HAD THE FORGIVENESS TO LOOK BEYOND;
BECAUSE OF YOU,
I GET TO HEAR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL SOUNDS!

PEOPLE MAKE WTHEIR OWN CHOICES,
BUT, IN GOD WE CAN CORRECT;
GOD AND YOU HAD THAT FAITH,
THAT LET ME RE-DIRECT!

THEN YOU GO AND GIVE ME LIFE,
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I'VE MADE YOU MAD;
YOU BLESSED ME WITH A KIDNEY,
NO-ONE ELSE COULD LOOK PAST, THE PAST
