Collection of poems

I thought I should share this poem that Kevin wrote which I found quite beautiful. It captured the desperation and dilemma quite well...

I have made a promise i cannot keep.
For fear of it i cannot sleep,
That which I sowed I know I'll reap,
I have made a promise I cannot keep.

I would break it but my conscience speaks,
I would keep it but my mind won't stick,
I am lost as to what to plead,
Should I chance it or should my feet be fleet?

Kevin Ng Tze Yao

I was chatting with Kevin and I was thinking that since Daryl also writes poems, perhaps it would be a great idea to compile the good poems and get them published. Perhaps ask the budding poets from our school to send in their poems for selection then send the compilation to a publishing house. Proceeds could go to the pocket money fund or something like that. This would be a great idea for CASL perhaps.

What do you guys think? Can we pull this off?
