Heading Further Afield

Recently I've had a couple of suggestions to share my poetry outside of tumblr, and start networking to try and increase both my knowledge of what's out there, and build up some relationships with others in the field.

My first step has been to get onto the website Poetry.com and begin sharing my poems there too, it would be a great help to me if you could head over there and give my poems a rating or review! It also allows people to share the poems with greater ease which should be good.

But that's not enough, so if anybody has any suggestions: Places I should check out, people I should look up, etc. Please let me know!

Where do I go from here?

Tigers [#3]

Oh children, listen close and heed my words, for you have heard all I can say on birds, and fish now hold no secrets of their own. Now time to hear the greatest beast that's known.

There lives a cat with size beyond compare, and majesty surrounds it in the air. It's fur of golden orange sits it proud, and stripes as black as night without a cloud.

The other animals around adore, but they all know to flee before it's roar, and should you find it there in front of you, there really isn't anything to do.

For once the tiger has you in his sight, he'll lick his lips and eat you up that night. Oh children, listen close and heed my words, or you will end up carrion for the birds.

Beginings [#1]

What once was here is here no more, A new day dawns upon this road, I tread upon a different shore, And seek all that which I am owed.

It takes some courage to begin, Command your feet to make their move, To end before the start is sin, When you have got so much to prove.

So up the mantle I do take, To boldly go to the unknown, And leave all doubters in my wake, 'Till I arive atop my throne.
