I wrote a sonnet a while ago for school, I hope it's suitable to post it here.
(The title isn't the number 5 in Roman numerals, it's the letter V)

V
Are we the saviour of this folk and land?
Are we the final thread of sanity?
We are, and hold the last of truth in hand,
Our words and actions yield new dynasty.
The spark of change, the revolution's wave
That starts the tide; the people are its flood.
A right to lead belongs sole' to the brave;
New hands will trace the shape of truth in blood.
Although our blades may glow with ruby fire,
And rampant wildcat flames do scorch the Earth
We fight to save our selves, not vent our ire
And prove to fallen masters our new worth.
When all is quiet aft' the night of war
Then we shall be at peace forevermore.

Have you ever shared these with her?
Also, feel free to post here, no one is judging and I'll get them banned if they do.
Sorry for Double Post.
I have, actually. But only recently. She's the exception to my "never, ever share" rule, due to the fact they're about her. I just didn't think to mention it in my first post.

And I wasn't so much concerned with people being judgmental. It's more... reluctancy, I guess, at putting something on display that I consider extremely personal.

But thanks for the assurance. I hate the pricks who offer criticism in the form of insults, and not a modicum of anything constructive.

I'd share more, but these three poems are all I have. Literally. I used to have dozens. Crusade themed, nautical themed, comedic pieces, and more... but they were all saved on my hard drive, which fried itself after an incredibly long THREE MONTHS of use.

Technology hates our family.
Aww that sucks :(
You should consider getting a blog at wordpress. You can keep it private so no one can look at the posts but you, but its a way for you to keep all your poetry backed up.
Also if you ever do decide to share, you can with a hit of a button.
Think about it anyhow.
