You see...I wrote this poem several months ago and I found it as I was digging through some old papers. I remember reading it and nearly falling to sleep-(That's what's supposed to happen)-and I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Here it is....
"GET SOME SLEEP" The stars shimmer with the grey moon in the sky their reflection rippling in the pond nearby The bullfrogs sleep and the night owls hoot The kitten yawns sleepily curled up in a boot No dragonfly zips, no minows dash Not even the wind dares make a splash Houses all in a row are shadows in the night Snores can be heard from windows without light The swingset is rusty but not a squeak is heard The willow tree is bed to the flock of birds The road is empty, no cars zoom here or there The scruffy dog twitches as he dreams a nightmare The grass is wet with slight fog up above The clouds seem to cuddle on the Earth with love Baby bats snuggle under Mom's wing and dad returns with a meal fit for a king The land is full of dark, sleep, and the cozy night and I urge you - get comfy so you'll sleep tight Catch a few ZZZ's, a cat nap at least Cut off those nightly shows, make needless games deceist It is time to rest , to dream of counting sheep Yes, now is the time to really get some sleep SO...........WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY POETRY, THEN?

Actually, no.
Original stories and poetry can be posted in KnoxGothic Storytellers; The Literary Gothia is for discussing books, writing, and publishing your work.
Bear in mind that if you publish your work here, or anywhere on the net, it's considerd "published" if you try to sell it later. ("Published" meaning that you can no longer sell the first publication rights for that piece, not "published" as in being a published author. When submitting, always let the editor know if the piece has appeared *anywhere* at any time.)

If I wanted smoke blown up my ass, I would have bought a lenght of hose when I bought cigarettes. Just kidding. Thanx dear, but you sell yourself short. I think that, while I refuse to deny my own talent, there are many, much more talented writers on here than me! I don't think that anyone can deny that.
Trevor, stop being so humble.. you know you're good. You've said it before. I recall you saying something along the lines of "it's my only talent".. and if I'm actually making an effort to read your writing, then it's obviously got potential. Why do you think I won't let you read any of MINE? ('cause compared to yours it really does blow goats nuts)
oh, nice sig by the way. but you know it was my mom who said that...
I masturbate to ronald mc donald's pictures every night while listening to 'like a virgin' by madonna

So...you want me to be a narcisistic ass? Kidding. I never said that I'm NOT talented, just not the MOST talented. That's all. Thanx sunshine. I love you. I would like to read some of your writing, someday.
Side Note:I'll change the sig soon anyway.
Thank you oh master of the " over complicated toaster. " That's what Mo says!
