I have had a poem published in the International Library of Poetry?

Question

Ya'll jealous or what?

Answer 1

I'm not. They published one of mine as well about 5 years ago. And they'll publish anything that is sent their way. They're pretty much a scam.

Answer 2

i guess...but I'm more into short stories and that sort of thing. I had to make one for school. What do you think? You claim it as your own, you will be subject to copyright.



The wind woke me up five minutes ago. I asked my mom and dad what was happening, but they sent me back to bed. I don’t blame them, because it was the middle of the night. I’m 13 now, but I still feel as though they treat me like a child, We live in the lower part of the tree, so we don’t get as much sunlight as the leaves on the upper branches. My parents say it’s better to live here than on the upper part of the tree because we learn to take better care of ourselves, and become a better family. The leaves on the upper branches are spoiled and don’t want to have families. Right now, it’s the middle of Autumn, and it gets colder than usual. Much colder.
Right now, some leaves have already fallen, but a girl on another branch that I love hasn’t fallen yet. When my Grandma fell, I cried the entire night after, and cried harder when another leaf fell by my window. The next morning, I saw that the girl I loved had fallen, and that just made me cry more. I hate seeing other leaves fall, and I wish I could reach out and help them, but I can’t.
Now I’m the only leaf left. I always thought it would be fun, being able to do whatever I wanted with no one telling me what to do, but it’s not. It’s no fun at all. It seems much colder and quieter without anyone else. I won’t be able to stand it much longer knowing that everyone I love has fallen. But if I let go now, I don’t know what will happen to me.
I’ve decided to fall. I’m too lonely hanging in this tree all alone. Right before I fall, I wonder what will happen. I wonder if everyone will be waiting for me, and we can be a family again without the worry of falling. Then, I just fall. I remember screaming, but then slowing down as the wind catches me. Then when I hit the ground after what seemed like hours, everyone was around me and hugging me, including the girl I loved. I’ll tell her my secret later.
