Do you think my poem is good? Can somebody please read it and tell me what you think? Thank You!



This is what I am, this is what you see.
For everything we’ve said and everything we’ve done has shaped who I’ve become.
Once we were happy and once we were good, but that was then and this is now.
Whatever you may think, whatever you may say, my life will still go on and you won’t defeat me.
You can laugh and you can snipe but I refuse to give in and I refuse to cry.
You’re so convinced, so sure you know.
But now is when it matters, but long ago I took the hint and turned my back on you.
Now is when I pay the price for all the things you’ve done.
The hearts you’ve broken and the lives you’ve stolen.
I cannot forgive and I cannot forget so I must leave and not return.
So I speak my words and I speak them to you.
Think of me when you’re life is overcome and you cannot go on.
Think of what I feel now and realise what you’ve done.

Good work, Cosapa. Maybe you can post more of your works.

I am not sure where though, this is a book review and discussion forum. It seems rather strange to me that Cosapa joined Funtrivia.com and within three minutes had posted that poem when we are not a site which has a section for poetry. S/he has made no other posts at all on the site.

I don't know about posting more poetry, perhaps an explanation as to why she posted the one above might be better.

I agree totally with Sue's question. Some or all of us may have literary aspirations - I'm not sure that the title 'Bookworms' suggests or invites submission of work. Otherwise the section could be cluttered with literary offerings and esoteric critiques.

In my opinion, the open-ended, free and easy suggestions of already published titles, accounts of readers' reactions to them and the option to follow up by reading or not reading any book is how it should stay.

A section where members could post their creative work is an idea worth considering, I think.
