Man, those are good poems. I feel kind of embarassed posting my own... But... Well, I may as well. I have a couple others, but they don't really suit my mood.

Keep in mind, I wrote this a couple days ago and my girlfriend just dumped me (we were incredibly attatched emotionally). So, if this is pessimistic, well... Forgive me


Or Either
________

Climbing up a ladder
with no end
and no beginning.
Floating down a river
with no paddle
and no shore.
Speckled with the scars
earned at the crossroads
of life's travels;
my trophies of the pains
I never knew
I would endure.
And through the sadness,
through the pain,
I struggle with a question.
Is life worthwhile
for the trip,
or for the destination?
.
.
.
Or Either?

I started this poem two months ago and never liked the ending, but I sent it off to poetry.com and got published anyway (both book and audio).

However: The copy I sent to poetry.com was never what I wanted the poem to be. So I changed the last 3/4 of it a few days ago and now I like it a lot better.

A select number of the poems they recieve are chosen to be read by "professional poetry readers" and are recorded. The CD can then be purchased along with the book (I didn't buy either).
