That's awesome you're shooting for an anthology. They are lots of hard work, restless afternoons, and sometimes a lot to chew, but so worth it. I'm releasing my second anthology very soon and must tend to it every single day and every free moment I have.

If I can offer a few tidbits of advice: Save the work you wish to compile onto one or more flash drive USBs, it has saved me more times than I could count (in case a computer goes out or a notebook gets lost). Secondly, edit, edit, and edit some more. I find that is the most time-consuming bit of every anthology, and sometimes I still miss a thing or two. It is increasingly expensive to pay for such a thing, but self-publishing can ease some of the burdens if done correctly. But if you save every piece you wish to publish, then do so on a flash drive if possible, and always remember to edit your work. Trust me, it can be a life-saver. You don't want to work hard for months only for it to be lost over something minor and minuscule.

I like it Hayley. The rhyme and the rhythm sound good. Especially like the lines 'I'm a one man army, soldiers too few'?

What's this about not being fond of the sun? FUN BUS trippers just luv the sun. Come on a trip with Tina, Gina and froggie and find out how invigorating a dose of this golden drop from heaven can be

D?. Notice I have to wear sunnies here and in pic...

I shall be publishing a new poem I just finished now around 12pm about british summer. I quite like the rhythm i feel it has and I believe it shows the comical but typical side to it to, well mainly for lower to middle class haha ?

Not overly fond of the sun, as you'll soon see ?

Thankyou so much ? I really do love getting feedback, whether its good or constructive criticism. Helps keep pushing you to continue even when writers block hits ?

hoping to release an anthology one day when I have enough good quality work. One poem published on paper is nice, but it's been my dream since a child to have a published anthology. Started writing poems a
t around 7 or 8 years old haha.

I shall try to continue writing well ?

i really appreciate every comment and like. Not too long been properly putting my work out there so it's nice to know people read it and enjoy it
