Poetry contest WIN?!

[Darksong]

I entered a poetry contest back in December, and I'm glad I checked the mail.

A letter I got said that I would be published in a book called A Celebration of Poets! Apparently, my poem was among the top ten for the 3rd-6th grade division!

Faith's Wings
As sometimes we feel like sinking into the darkness
We may lose hope over the overwhelming shade
As inside, the blaze of hope is reduced to an ember
The sun retreating to the edges of the glade.
As the falling lurches in our hearts
We lose our thoughts that encourage us
And though it's like a fate worse than death
Never give up we must.
Fly like a crow, soar like an eagle
Rise out of the melancholy ponder
Out of the murky mist
Into the endless, open yonder!
Though sometimes we feel doomed by sadness
We must remember to keep bright
Spread our wings and rise to the sky!
Find the magnificent, welcoming light!

And it also said that I could still be among the finals! Awesome!

:DDDD

Wish me luck! ~

That's awesome! I've recently developed an interest in poetry since I've had to do poems in reading, writing, and social studies. Your poem is great!

You're sure it's legitimate? Like I see a lot of websites that say "your poem will be published in so-and-so, you can buy so-and-so for $rip.off"

It's a really nice poem, btw. ,,x3

Yup, pretty sure. Here.

Thanks for the comments, I'm getting so excited for the finals! :D

Congrats!

By the way, out of curiosity, what's your home state? Because, I couldn't find your poem's title from the link you provided among the list of winners.
