I also did a poem at the con. A different poem. I'm sort of proud of it. Not as proud as I was of "The Glass Flower," but still reasonably proud.
The thing is, uh, I'm pretty sure most people didn't know The Glass Flower existed before i stuck it on the front of my page, and even then I wouldn't be surprised if it got glossed over. Part of me was wondering if i should try and give said second poem more exposure by using it in a story. On one hand, I realize that approach is more heavy-handed than The Dead Poet's Society and almost as heavy-handed as Rent. On the other hand...I dunno, guys, I really do kind of like it. I really do hope that it'll be seen. I'm not sure I can do that with just a blog post.
If there are "take a third option" solutions, i'd love to hear them. Seriously. Otherwise, uh, what do you think? What should i do?
OF course! It's always nice to see what other works people can do.
If it's the poem that you had me take a look at, I could imagine it being a really good capstone to a good story.
