Putting this on the depression boards rather than creative corner as it's relevant to my hospital stay (was when I first joined the group) and I've mentioned it in other threads.

Well, in one of my threads (can't remember which) I mentioned that the writing group I was in (outpatients at the mental health unit) were publishing a collection of poems and two of mine got chosen... was a small affair but it's kinda nice to see it in something illustrated rather than scribbled on whatever scrap of paper I have laying around

Psychcentral shrinks pictures so you might need to click on them to read them better... sorry about that. Host I used is imgur.com so should be safe... oh and my hands have shakes so sorry for not very clear cut pics

The poetry book I mentioned

Not very keen on the second one but that's the one they chose... we were meant to write about 'emotion'

Would it or would it not be a compliment to describe your poetry as thoroughly "undead"?

CONGRATULATIONS!
