My poems leach out beauty from my pain because that is still my truth.

Poetry.com - the site has some good stuff on it, but be careful about their contests and offers. Their focus is on taking the quick buck, rather than  the poetry. They are vampires and vultures who prey on the vulnerable and gullible.  Nuff said.
