OPUSIA? Hello again All poets!! I almost forgot about this community, but I had been missing all the great times i had writing and writing away on here. I decided to get back on, but what do you know? Opuss is no longer on the app store! I figure it's been like this for a while now since the news of a new Opusi platform... But I do find the website rather hard to navigate, so I was wondering when the app is going to be released (if ever) because when it is i'll be so excited to come back and be another regular poet just going along with #life and I hope I can go along #life with you all!! If someone could let me know when the app might be ready, that would be awesome!! Thank you!! ~Hpwizard101 (Nick)

I just wanted to let you all know that my #poem "Recolor Me" is going TO BE PUBLISHED! I sent it in into a poetry contest for Scholastic Publishing Co. and my #poem caught the attention of the Apelley Publishing Co.! Every year Apelley comes out with a book of #poems from students called "Rising Stars!" My #poem will be featured in the 2017 edition!!! It will be available for a limited time during the summer! If you want to buy a copy, you can contact them at www.Appelley.org! Along with my #poem several other stunning #poems from other 3-12 students will be featured in the book! This is a HUGE accomplish for me and I want to thank you all!!!! This is better than reaching #2 in the ranks or reaching 100 followers here! The real achievement is being able to express myself and knowing I am surroundedd by a healthy writing environment and whatever I write will be accepted!

A Tiny Tweak The tweak, of a clock, Can change the course of time. But can the tweak of our attitudes, Change our future. Cause time can change with the turning of a knob, But timely enough, All WE need to change time, Is to agree that only time can change oneself. Ponder and return. Think and rewind. Dabble and turn. Believe and never regret again.

A World of Sparks When times are tough, And the brain is rough, Priorities are shifted, And thoughts are sifted With schoolwork beaming down, Casting upon me a frown, Opusia was pushed, And turned to mush Unfair treatment, we must all say, But until this wonderful day, I have returned to MY world of sparks, Where evening never darks. A free land you must say, No nothing you may nay, For Opusia is the spark in my brain, And keeps me going when it rains
