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?

Random Poem:

Nothing Changes
WilliamGruff

Time passes and the years blur by,
 1
      questions, questions, no answers why
 2
          a non-ending cycle of sunshine and rain
 3
yet nothing changes, all is the same.
 4
 
 
Created from seed thrust forward in life
 5
       a husband, a father, a mother, a wife.
 6
          a never ending cycle of sunshine and rain
 7
still nothing changes, questions remain.
 8
 
 
Time passes, the years blur by
 9
      still clouds form, still birds fly.
 10
        the years now condemn, the body feels pain,
 11
yet nothing changes, all is the same.
