do your poems get burried?

by Lindsay Ann - Gemini

i used to hate the way my poems got burried alive
under the thousands of words written by thousands of people
why can't everyone just stop and read mine?
i want to be critiqued, i want to be loved

but then i took the time every day
to read some of the best poems i have ever read
and got a grip on my selfishness
because i'd rather have my work be burried alive
with poems that will never be dead.

Reason for writing:

    i think people might get frustrated if something so important to them is on the "next 40 poems" page right after they submit it.  but don't worry, it will come across someone and touch their lives!
