Attention! Young Poets.
I'm compiling poems written by young people (under 55 years old) into a book to hopefully have it illustrated and published, and would like you to contribute. If you have a poem you have written that you'd like to get out in the world, please share it here, or link the appropriate webpage if already posted online. By sharing, you agree to have your work publicly seen under either your real name, a pseudonym, or anonymity, whichever you prefer.
Poem entries are to be submitted on the boards as thus:
• Title at the top, in bold.
• Name/pseudonym of poet in italics; this cannot be substituted by a username used for any gameplay or social networking site. You may elect to appear anonymous.
•The poem in question, with verses distinguished via paragraphing.
•A description of the poem, mainly its theme and its background.
•Suggestions for the illustrator when illustrating your poem.
NOTE: Poems must be at least 3 lines long, such as of a haiku.
Hope to have zero replies!

You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how about yours? That's the way I like it and I never get bored Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid All that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go (go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold
