A Celebration of Poets

So I’m sitting in class - the computer lab to be exact; slouched down in the cheap green school chair, I decide to write a poem. Writing has become a healthy way for me to get out my emotions and express myself. I have always enjoyed writing - ever since I was a little kid I used to make up stories about my favorite little stuffed animal monkey. She would go on adventures with her best friend named Marshmallow, who was a little stuffed animal bunny; and ever since then I’ve grown as a writer and so has my love for it. I recently just created a tumblr because of the craze over it and posts from it I’ve seen on “Instagram” and “Twitter” it seems like a cool website. So here I am writing a wholehearted, but short poem in class, the words flow out and drip onto my phone like water spilling from a flower vase. Then, feeling satisfied with my poem I decided to post it on tumblr, and to my surprise it got over 400 notes! Wow! I was so shocked that so many people liked it! The poem got so many likes that I decided to enter it into the “Celebration of Poets" Contest. Here is my poem titled “Falling”.

I don’t understand myself.

One day I'm as happy as can be.                                                                                                

Like I’m floating on a cloud.

Then the next day ill fall.

So deep beneath the ground.

Taking days to dig myself out of the ever so deep hole.

 

To my surprise, my poem was selected to be published in the “Celebration of Poets” book! I have already had a poem published in this book before called, “If I Ruled the World” (I think it was called that, I wrote it 2 years ago so don’t question me on that) but this was an honor, because I had written this poem on my free time and It is emotional and enduring. This poem has also been entered in the final contest where you win money I think, so I really hope I win. If not I am still proud of my achievements and I hope to become a famous poet/author one day! This is just one small step into the road of success for me.
