A while ago i created a poem. I want to try and get it published in a magazine or something. Maybe i should copy it and post it in places or something. If anyone out there can give me some idea as to where i can send this without it being taken as somebady else's work please tell me. The following is the afore mentioned poem. I don't have a name yet so if you got any ideas please share.
The stillness of a pond is the calmness of my mind. The ripples of a single particle of dust is as a single thought. With all my ever increasing knowledge & my loves & my hates, my likes & my dislikes the water in the pond becomes thick and polluted. Now in order to have the same ripple effect as a particle of dust once had, I must now toss a a heavy stone into the pond. I swim to the center of the pond and go under, desperately searching for the gem that is my sanity. As I search I drown, for the water is to thick and full of pollutants which are my thoughts. As I begin to fade into the eternal darkness I notice the creatures made manifest by the pollutants that have begun to feast on my body. The single most important question in my life now is "what will go first... my body or my mind".
Again if you know where i can get this published just put down the info. and please help me with a title. I have got some in mind, but i'd prefer not to use them since they don't seem to fit.
