Do you think it might be at all possible to get any of these poems published?

Ive posted them in my blog

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog....

There are about 25 posts (including some random entries). I knw that publishing poetry takes a lot to do. One of the things i am curious about is if i can capture the reader. That is one of the most important things. Being sure that my work is something that someone would want to read. I can't figure this out for myself, because i love to read my work, but i am not everyone else.

One of the poems that is not in the blog (mainly cause no matter what i did, it wouldnt let me post it in the style i wanted) ive included here.

So, if you would. Just take a couple mins to browse some of them. And tell me which ones might be suitable for publishing, or if publishing is even a good idea. I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

So afraid of death.

But I'm tired of living.

Can't find any meaning,

In these words I've been given.

I'm trying to search.

But I keep on forgetting,

That this path that I'm on,

Is so unforgiving.

I'm being held back.

And I can't seem to escape,

This unbreakable grasp.

Imprisoned by my fate.

And I'm trying to flee,

Only to be caught.

In this web I'm entangled,

By all that I've rought.

Always to be trapt,

By the hold of despair.

My life has no meaning.

And seems so unfair.

    What do you do,

    When you figure it out?

    When you've found what your life

    Was really about.

    Good work, usually I dont read through to the end but your poems are alright. A question though have you tried more themes (most of the work I read has sadness embeded within). worth publishing.
