Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:

Good morning
Tamar

So this is what it feels like to live again.
 1
 
 
to touch-
 2
to taste-
 3
to breathe-
 4
in a different way
 5
 
 
to part my lips and know:
 6
I'm smiling for the first time
 7
 
 
to be a kid again:
 8
dreaming of good things to come
 9
 
 
embracing each day
 10
with new arms
 11
and lulling each night to sleep...
 12
 
 
The bad dream is over.
 13
The dawn has been summoned.
