Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

A tiny phrase
 1
  that means so much,
 2
It guides the days
 3
  that we live,
 4
Nothing too big
 5
  nor too small,
 6
Even may help
 7
  if we fall,
 8
Throughout the darkest hour
 9
  it still rings true,
 10
For him, for me,
 11
  for her, for you
 12
Always, Always
 13
  LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE through
 14
