I'm sorry to do this to anyone who were awaiting my book with bated breath, but this is not about that.
Mostly, it's a poem that I did as a Freshman (9th grade.) that was one of few chosen from my school.

This will be the first thing that I will have published, and I want to share my happiness with you guys by letting you read it.
If you want...

'Night Song

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tock.
A sound that plays its one note song.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Splish.
Rain. A sound, a rhythm that adds to this song.
Creak. Creak. Creak. Crack!
A tree, one that sways in the wind freely, until its last note plays.
Screech. Whistle. Screech. Screech.
The flute-like sound of the wind that played the tree's last note.
Tap. Splish. Tap. Splash.
A sound. A rhythm.
Tock. Tick. Tick. Tick.
That adds to this song.
Tock.
The night song.'

Yes, that is a lot of onomatopoeia.

@Absolution:
When you need to use the words 'Not to be a dick' you are acting like a dick.
That was a poem of a memory I have of a night I couldn't sleep and it was during a calming rain.

I must also confess to being a dick, as I laughed hard at Skorn's post.

EDIT: That's not to say it's a bad poem... poems are allowed to be wtfcky.

Hmm.. 
Congratulations!

I recently got an article published in an swedish paper... It took up one whole page (it was 3 A4 in times size 12 in word) so they must have been kind of desperate for material!
It was an interview with my grandmother about old days and such I did as a homework, my teacher liked it and told me to get it published so I sent it to an paper which I knew my grandmother followed.

If anybody is interested I could email it, but the problem is that it's in swedish obviously..
