Now, on P-H's Add New Poem page, I see something new.
This site presents an example of 'how a poem usually looks'.
I suppose PH is really trying to be Helpful for me & FOR YOU,
but IS IT what a publisher would dare offer to authors of books?
I think NOT! I'll not let 'usually' bother me. I'll press on
, gather a variety of poetic works & suggest you take a peak.
But, of some LONG POEMS, I may just give to you a TASTE!
For me and you I tend to do this monthly, not every single week!
You needn't read all of these; you don't need to read any! !
AND you needn't leave a comment, though I hope some DO.
At times my task is daunting. But it will never cost ONE penny.
No one pays me to do this. At times I even 'enjoy' it. It is TRUE!

========================================
1 - The Ballad Of Jeffrey Epstein
Poem by anais vionet
You made me rub you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You paid me damn you -
I was so scared I'd do it
You always knew I'd do it
You made us happy sometimes
you made us sad
the twisted world you made, Jeff
You treated us so bad.
You made me fly for
The island where you kept us
and all your friends slept with us.
We wanted something newwwww
Yes, It's true, 'deed we knew
You know we knewwwww
Giving, Giving, Giving, Giving what you lied for
there are some things rich men commit
- perverted crimes for..
You know you made me rub youuuuuuuu

2 - Thirst
Poem by Chad Dominus
Digging, digging, digging a well
How deep is it? I cannot tell
But I am far beneath the desert sands
Trying to dig with my raw, bloodied hands
I am weary of this endless toil
I doubt there is any water in this gritty soil
Perhaps I chose to dig in the wrong spot
Yet, getting out, I know I cannot
Now the watering-hole I dug so brave
I fear will be my dark, dry grave

{{ I plan to leave comments at times. }}
================================
Indeed, having a showcase is a daunting endeavor. It entails a lot of time and patience. Thank you, Bri, for all your efforts as always. I like the poem of Anais Vionet and the poem entitled 'Thirst ' by Chad Dominus.
ANOTHER POEM (that) I SUGGEST OTHERS READ: 'No Cabbages' by Ruth Walters. : )
Thanks for the assistance you are rendering to fellow poets.
Apparently my showcases do not show up on most readers' radars, OR their appeal is not overwhelminig! ! ! ;) Did I spell that last word correctly? ? ? ?
POEM # 9: AND I AM WAITING TO SEE A POEM SHOW UP/APPEAR on PH by Ruth Walters with the title: 'No Cabbages'. It HAD BEEN 'Cabbages' but Ruth had Trouble when trying to edit it so changed the title!
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
