publish a book of poems

i wrote a poem yesterday about driving over the bridge with an absolutely amazing sky full of clouds. crossing the george has never felt so epic.

i need to revise it though… definitely not in full form yet.

i need to write on my own more often. i’ve got a bunch of poems i’m proud of, but these were mostly written for classes. ah, the motivation of assignments that must be done.

It’s been awhile since I added publish a book of poems to my list and while I’ve continually writing poetry, I really hadn’t even made one step closer to getting this on my completed items list. But, this past weekend, I’m happy to say, I spent some time formatting what I hope will one day be my first book of poetry.

I also made an important decision regarding content and chose a title. I’m going to keep the title to myself for the time being, but soon, I hope to release this long-awaited work to the world.

I was writing a poem a day for a while…but it’s been months. I’ve always wanted to publish a book of poems.

Hey I just wanted to ask ya’ll what ya’ll think of this.Its about my older Brother who passed,we were really close.

When I remember looking into your eyes I remember it being as beautiful as the shining Sky
I never wanted to cry, Joel I never wanted to say Bye.

Being your sister was than a single dime or Two
No matter how much fun I’ll have it’ll never be like the times I spent with You.

You loved Jesus that I Know
The things that I remember is as beautiful as the wind when it Blows.

Thinking about how much I miss about you makes me Cry
I wish this was a dream,I care,and I love you thats Why.

Even thoe I miss you I know I shouldn’t Weep
Your love,your cares,and your memories I will always Keep.

I may have lots of friends or bestfriends but like you there won’t ever be Another
Your Smile,your laugh,that I will always remember but most of all I’ll remember the fact that you’ll always be my Dear Brother.

...I’m not sure where to go from here. I was thinking of telling a number of stories from my life and interjecting various poems into the stories at the points where they showed up in real life. I’ve already written one about someone who I thought was my soul mate and who I ended up losing. It’s called How I Lost My Soul Mate.

What do you think? Should I publish my poems in this fashion?

I’ve always loved poetry and have written well over 50 nice poems, and one day I hope I will have them all published into a book.
