My first Published poem.
My first offer to publish a poem came from a professor at the college I was attending in 1970's, Dr. Leroy Lane. He approached me and asked if I would write a poem on words for his text book, By All Means Communicate, which; I believe is still being used today in colleges; however, I never heard from him, or if he actually used it..
Later in 1985 I revised it and sent it to Earthwise a publication in the University of Miami Florida Literary Society, and it was used in their Literary Calendar. This is the poem;
Words (Accepted for publication 04-1985)
©1985, Olan L. Smith
Listless-
Foreboding-
Souls exist
Searching-
For listening ears
Of loving hearts,
Burdens are too heavy
For one to bear;
Words are for two
Souls to share.
