Voting is ongoing for the 2008 Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere but right now I'd like to direct your attention to some poets you might not know.
It’s Okay
by Sarah Flanigan
It’s okay
push me away
if I’m a threat
to your peace of mind
It’s okay
turn your back
if I’m the cause
of some sorta flack
I’m okay
with your disrespect
your false smiles
and instant reject
Please read the rest.

I think I'll let Ali explain.
Swinging
By Allison Shwedo
This fraying rope will break before I reach
The other side of you where no one dares
To open up your mind and cause a breech
Of safety and reprieve that you won’t share
Experience has made your heart believe
The other side of you does not exist
Instead, you make my innocence retreat
And justify my love with angry fists
Just please continue readng
