1 – Dear me
by Angelina
Sad little thing
with your head in your hands
and your world blown apart
hair hanging low
(but not low as your heart).
The road stretches out
in miles of inches,
years set to please everyone
but you
must hold on
for what else can you do?
And just when you think
that the dreams you dreamed
long ago among rainy day lilacs
and honeysuckle
were all for naught
the same unfeeling world
will gift you
with the rarest love
of all.

I can't tell you
all that you want to know,
and I'm not sure how much you'd believe,
even coming from me.
There is temptation
to shield you from pain,
from all the stumbles and falls
you'll take along the path you're on.
Still, that journey got us here,
which is further
and far more wonderful
than you've let yourself think possible.
Some mistakes you'll make
over and over again;
some lessons are difficult to learn,
and wisdom is hard won.
Love is waiting–
yes, even for you–
in the most unexpected places,
both heartbreaking and beautiful.
Worth everything you'll go through.
We've lost more
than you think we'll ever have,
yet still have so much.
Someday you'll know, you'll see,
how it feels
to be overcome by love.
It's hard to trust, I know,
you barely trust yourself.
But, we've come a long way,
and I carry you with me.
Sometimes still see
me through your eyes.
By the way,
you learned to cry again.
Though I imagine
you don't think that's a good thing–
it is.
So, no, I can't tell you
what's ahead,
or help you to find your way.
I just want you to know
the view is good from here.
You and me?
We did okay, kid.
4. Dear Junior
by Greenmountaineer
I can call you that, now that I'm older,
so I ask you what made me buy
"Volleyball at Nudist Camps"
at Ocean City Wine, Beer, and Sundries
that summer in 1967
when salt water taffy would have tasted
better in our flea bag motel room
as we flipped through pages, waiting for Stuey
who knew how to groove under the boardwalk
with Sgt. Pepper lonely heart girls
at Glassboro State or Villanova
and make them say "Oh, Stuey!"
moaning until they went back to school
in September to study Thucydides
while you and I were starving to death for
taffy, vaginas, and stories from Stuey.
5 – Sestina to Self
by GuiltyPleasure
I’d just like to let you know
your shyness will not last,
your skill and confidence will grow
as your sister’s will get weak.
Good health won’t be on your side
but much happiness will follow you.
If you had fulfilled all you
planned and learnt all I know
now it would have been easy to decide
what to do with your life. The last
job councillor’s advice was weak
and only saw your anxiety grow.
You shall find your talent will grow
and your parents become proud of you
even if, right now, they think it weak.
Oh, all the things you need to know
but will learn too late for last-
ing good but I was always on your side.
Happily your marriage will not be side-
lined as your siblings’ but get strong, grow
into a deeper love that will last
through all the unexpected troubles you
will have to face together. So know
your bond is more strong than weak.
As time passes, day by day, week
by week you get strong, on your side
is time and healthy relationships that know
your potential and will watch as you grow,
share challenges and adversities with you
so you triumph and come out on top at last.
So now my final words, advice at last,
seek help as you get physically weak
and widen your vision of medicine, you
will find alternate treatment outside
the norm that many scoff at, grow
sceptical but it works, now I know.
Lastly, take comfort in your many sided
life. Muscle weakness will grow into other strengths
that you don’t yet know you are capable of.

I really have nothing to say to you
but that is not to say
you shouldn't be listening
so pay attention
especially to your dreams;
those poems penned by the Higher Self
when this prehistoric Lower Life Form
fictional character you currently play
sleeps the night away after day
long doubt and angst filled struggles
to write great American novels that
aside from a third word processor crash
literally end up going nowhere*
*with the exception of the trash
for more can be said
in a mere few words
than entire library shelves
or cave illustrations can convey
if you would just stop panicking
long enough to stand your ground
and use your words to subdue the beast
rather than run away from the Saurus Rex
hunting you through recurring nightmare.
7 - Poem to a younger me
by UnderYourSpell
Never believe in life's suppression
or take to heart the words of fools,
remember always each hard lesson
they will help you learn the rules.
False love will burn the strongest
and just as quickly fade and die,
participate to be the worthiest
gain the tools with which to try.
Reach high for the stars my girl,
then the world will come to you
suppressors turn away and shun
always to your heart be true.
