The Echoes poetry competition to celebrate Write Out Loud's 20th anniversary is now open.  Judged by Neil Astley.

Competition closes in 8 days, 15 hours. Get details and Enter.

The Poet

performance without an audience

written with a broken heart

words of love that may have gone

though never meant to part

gregarious in his nature

with a Hidden depth 

articulated feelings, from a soul inept

humility as a warning

sentences on a page

conceptual with the detail

affectation into rage

so scribe the written pasture

the beauty of the beast

place it on a page of hell

for whoever cares the least.

I'd feel a little odd for commenting on a lot of your pieces haha, but I really like your writing. I get a sense of peacefulness from them

This is really good, as it feels so true, words of all of our emotions felt over time, filtered through a poem we use to outlet the emotion
