A to Z: B is for Balance

Hello Poetteers,


B is for being kind
not minding the buzzing bees
they help pollinate the flowers
the flowers that
even when crushed
give off a beautiful fragrance.

Be is for being kind
maybe that's all he's doing
it may be just in my head
that he's flirting.

---

B is for balance
you have it or not
learning about it
you try to balance school
and home
you faith and love life

Balance is not
just a beam
you use in science class.

Love and thank you, Fida

I totally love this! How many times have we all had that experience? I think poetry has the power to ring truer than any other use of words.

made me associate being kind to helping someone rise with a fragrant attitude after being crushed!

Nice poems. I like the lines:

the flowers that
even when crushed
give off a beautiful fragrance.

I smiled reading them.

As one who struggles with balance in my life, I was particularly touched by the end of your poem. Thank you!

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 mo...
