Bits and Pieces: Change

Hello readers,

Change

Why does change have to be so hard?
Why can't things stay the way they are?

I love the way everything went
the way i was able to smile
and not be pushed or rushed.

This poem is still in mid-writing and I still feel like changing it. Ha! Change is the topic... well maybe I'll let you continue it and write your own version.

Change makes you a more beautiful person in my opinion.
Have a positive mindset for change and embrace it. It's inevitable so we might as well make the most of it and enjoy it as much as possible?
It is change, but it makes us so much stronger. It makes us grow as people and Muslims and Human Beings. It does so much for us. Of course when things around us change and we think everything's just going way too quickly it can be like, 'muuuh', but it's gonna happen and that's a test for us to keep up. Something can always stay the same though. You can always smile, your smile will always remain if you allow it to inshaAllah (:. <3 I love the poem it's so deep - and you know how changing a poem can make a poem better, it's the same with life. Let's say that the words in the poems are like us. And as you change the poem, everything around the words is changing. Another comma here, an added line there and even another capital letter?! :O, hehe might sound strange, but try to think of the words personified. They may feel like their whole poem, their life is changing and they don't want it to. They much preferred the first draft. But as you, the writer changes the poem bit-by-bit, little-by-little, it can do wonders to the poem - right?
The words don't see how beautiful a poem becomes with change. So basically, in the poem of life, Change makes you a more beautiful word, or person ;). Keep Smiling, a smile stays the same, as does the sparkle in your smile (: <3

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate.

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and more.
