Poetry Site
What to do, what to do......my poetry website has been sitting on a back burner for far too long. I had an idea for it way back last fall, and actually created two websites for it (one was to be mainly just a community, and the other site filled with other interests of mine that I felt somewhat related to poetry yet different enough that it deserved it's own site). I had it mostly completed when Christmas was nearing and another website of mine needed attention. After a successful Christmas season I realised how far I could take the other website and ran with it. When things finally died down and I couldn't build another page, I took a look at my poor poetry website and sighed. No motiviation, no energy, no ideas. It was like all the creativity had been sucked from my brain. All I could do was sit and play Dark Ages (an online game).
Well FINALLY I've been hit with the idea bug, and started on another business project. Of course, NOW I'm being hit by one idea after another and want so desparately to get started on changes to that little poetry site. I pop in every once in awhile to see what's going on, and watch the member count grow (thank you Google for the good search engine rankings!). Now it's just a matter of WHAT and WHEN to work on.....(please allow me to begin thinking out loud here). I believe the first thing I'm going to add is a poetry contest section, devoted to listing legitimate poetry contests with decent prizes. (Not the general "Congratulations! Your poem has been selected to be in our book - here buy it")
What to do after the contest section? Well, I was thinking of having a publishing section too that has information on how to get published or even go so far as to publish a full book. I know that is one of my personal dreams to have at least one book published on something I hold dear to my heart (the business crap is really starting to get to me).
That's my ramblings for the day. I hope to find time to actually get to work on those sections. I just hate to see that site just sitting there when it could be so much more.....

okay, so you guys think your lives are difficult try having controlling parents that run almost your whole everyday life the only thing i'm really probably allowed to choose is what colour underwear i should wear today. They hate my fiance, my attitude, my friends lets just put it like this in short they dislike the whole of what is my life.... but i always say this if they're bothered by what i do and say with my life, then i must be doing something right. Right!! And who cares anyway they're not not the ones whose going to have to end up living with my choices, i am. so my advice is live my life to please only one person and thats me. so there you have it folks a lesson in life. If you never lived it, how will you ever know.
Dedicated to the love of my life Jerome!
If the sun withers your smile
I'll send the rain to grow a garden
If the night leaves no moonlight
I'll send the morning to warm your smile
If the winter cools your heart
I'll send you the spring to free your soul
If fire burns but not bright
I'll send you my love to make things right
For now and forever
I'll keep you in my eyes
So i can be the first to see you in the morning and last thing you see at night
I love you, and i just wanted you to know
So i'm pouring out my heart
Look into my eyes and it will show.
I love you !
