I'm writing a poem that I'm thinking about putting in my blog on myspace. The thing is it's about someone that is on my friends list and I'm not sure that I should post it. I know it sounds simple and that I should just not post it if I reservations or set it to private. I've always been an honest and up front person. Even when it comes to my heart. But I've been hurt resently and I find my self(against my wishes) falling for someone again. And I just really want to be careful this time. I'm not sure if I want to be so telling so soon. But I would like to share what I wrote. What do I do?

I'm falling for a different person. I can stay friends with the other guy, but the thought of getting back together is far from my mind.

Well, the simple answer is "When in doubt, leave it out." I know that doesn't help you, so let's try again. I'm not an "internet geek," but I'm sure there are other places, like online poetry forums or something similar, where you could share this particular nugget of creativity with a different audience...you might try that.
ALTERNATE ANSWER: Like my one of my heroes, Bugs Bunny says, "Of course I could be wrong." Maybe I missed the point. Do you conflicting feelings spring from the fact that the poem is meant to be read by this person on your friends list, but since you are still licking your wounds (so to speak) from a recent relationship that went belly up, you are reluctant to open up again so soon (how's that for a long sentence--I ran out of breath just typing it)? If that's the case, I say "What the hey, go for it."
Best case scenario---the subject of the poem will be either a) impressed, b) touched, or c) flattered, and that might lead to someting that was worth taking the chance for.
Worst case scenario--the subject of the poem reads it and thinks, "What a sap." If so, yeah, you've just taken a body check to the psyche. But the good thing about psyches is that they do heal...so it stings for a while, but you will get over it, and when you do, I guarentee you will find a more worthy recipient of your affection (I'm assuming here, but you do make it sound like it is some kind of love poem).
So, to sum my advice using every stale cliche I can think of, Go for the Gusto, Swing for the Fence, Take the Leap, Pull the Goalie, Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained, Win One for the Gipper, blah, blah blah. Go for it...put it on the blog...Billy Joel would say "Tell Her About It." You get the idea...And even if the poem doesn't get the desired reaction, giving an outlet to your creative energies is always (to quote Martha Stewart) "a good thing." You can do this...just believe.

depends, it could also hurt you to post it. but don't keep your feelings from this person unless you know they'll hurt you again. Question is, are you falling for the same person again after being hurt? then post it as private. if you are falling for someone new, I think keeping it posted public would be fine.
