It's Time...
time to grow up
something you've been waiting for...
impatiently waiting
   so why are you scared?
   why are you unsure?
it's too late now
you've committed yourself for life...
   creating a life
how are you suppose to feel?
   how do you feel?
so, your scared.
get over it
you did this
so grow up
its time now
no turning back.
*this is a poem i posted in a contest on another site and they actually sent me something in the mail about it being in a book. i dont know if it was legit but i was pretty shocked anyway.*

Neveah, welcome to Passions.  There are a few on-line websites that will offer you a chance to be in their book at a cost to you, but it is not a "published book" in the sense that it will reach the masses.  I can pull a link if you would like to read up on it.

In the meantime, please look around our little home, and stay awhile.  I am sure you will find it to be interesting, educational, and above all, a warm and welcome poet's home.

welcome to Passions! This is a good poem, straight to the point, a lesson learned. Well as far as the book, the International Library of Poetry is famous for putting out books with your poem in them and you have a chance to buy the book at a discount price. I haven't bought one yet, and haven't seen any of the books I was supposed to be in. I was told that they accept everyone just to get books sold. I don't know. That seems kind of immoral to me.

This poem is actually about me becoming a mother..a huge step in life that I decided to take probably a little too soon. And I didnt think that the book thing was for real, although it was nice to imagine that it was. Thanks for the comments.

WELCOME  TO  PASSIONS  IN  POETRY


Sorry I'm late in welcoming you, but I've
been out of town since Friday and haven't
had access to a computer. Anyway, I hope
that you enjoy it here as much as I have
this past couple of months. I enjoyed
your poem and hope to read much more of your
poetry. Thanks for sharing with us.
