Here is a sample of what I can do I hope you like my poems!!
“Love”
Have you ever loved someone so much that love blinds your judgment
And no matter what you say you can never put anything above it
You change your personality to conform to this feeling
And try your best to let that love be your natural form of healing
You call upon that love, and hope it has your back
Wishing and praying to the Lord above that it will always be like that
You eat, sleep, and breathe that love waiting for the chance
For that love to open up your eyes and show you true romance
You're hoping it's not a tale that you've only read in books
And it's seeming like it's true from your lovers loving looks
The things that person says to you, got you really thinking
About all of the times where love has left your heart emotionally sinking
That feeling is finally gone and you really don't want it back
And the love that exist in your heart right now is definitely telling you that.
“Little Girl Lost”
Her hair is black and her eyes are brown
She's all alone, no one’s around
No one to smile and no one to frown
No one to pick her up or put her down
She's feeling sad and all alone
Can't find her place, too far from home
Ten years old and all she can do is cry
Keep screaming out the word why
Her clothes are torn her innocence gone
He walked away as if nothing was wrong
She lies there now sad and alone
Wondering if she'll ever make it home
She barely can walk from the pain she's feeling
Given a wound that will never see healing
Emotionally she's shattered and she doesn't understand
Why she was taken and violated by this man
Her eyes have darkened the sparkle is gone
Her feelings have harden while she's so far from home
People walk by her as if she isn't there
Not stopping to help her, no one really cares
She tries to stand but falls down to her knees
Still not understanding why her insides bleed
Ashamed of herself, did she do something wrong?
Was she a bad girl? Is that why she was taken from home
Her tears steadily flow and her eyes turn red
She feels she can’t go on so she drops her head
Not wanting to see another day, emotionally she’s dead
Looking for an explanation of how these events were lead
Too battered and too beaten to try to carry on
Looking for a good reason to make it back home
That man is there he took daddy’s place
Did bad things to her and smiled in mommy’s face
Did mommy know? Did mommy care?
Did mommy realize that this bad man was there?
Where had daddy gone, he’d save the day
She could imagine the things that daddy would say
His special little girl hasn’t been bad
She’s been a good little girl to her wonderful dad
But daddy’s not here, where has daddy gone?
Why has he left for this bad man to come in their home?
Mommy won’t believe her she’s already tried
Mommy screamed and yelled that she was telling lies
Mommy beat her and sent her right to bed
With a bleeding nose and a painfully bruised head
Hiding the scars had become a chore
From being thrown against furniture and left lying on the floor
Her stomach started getting bigger so he took her away
Did what he always did and left her to stay
But this little girl is lost and all alone
Has anyone actually noticed that she is gone?
Once happy and content in her little wonderful world
Doing all the fun things that make her a special little girl
Now she wishes to see those better days
When all was well and life was great
She sits in the alley all alone
This little girl’s lost and will never see home
I want to publish a poetry book. How would I go about doing it? Or meeting some publishers?
There is a regular magazine called Writer's Digest. It has a lot of info for the aspiring writer in all genre. It is worth looking at. Buy one at a bookstore like Borders, Walden, Barns %26amp; Noble. I used to have a subscription.
Anyway they have a lot of info on how and where to get published.
Your poems are nice. You should try. Don't let anyone sway you. It is hard, but it can be done. Don't give up even if you have go go all the way up hill. You do have talent and that will help.

I want to publish a poetry book. How would I go about doing it? Or meeting some publishers?
Hahahhahahahhahahahahaaaaa! Gasp! Haahaahhahahahahhahahha!
Oh, honey. I'm not laughing at your poetry. I would never do that....
The only way to get your poetry published is to go to a vanity press. That means YOU pay to have the book published. Period. No publisher would consider an entire book of an unknown poet.
You need to start by submitting your poems into contests for anthologies. Sometimes, you need to pay them to read it. It takes many, many years. TONS of rejection. You can do it.
