When i was 10 and small
When i was barely 3 feet tall
and my age is turning 10.
I use to trek along the hills
picking flowers, tapping fingers
dancing along in wilderness
I jump and hop and run afree,
And used to climb the sturdy trees
When I was 10 and oh! so small
I felt free…I felt so tall
I felt the passion burning bright
Of small promise of gentle hands
I dream of dreams a way too high
As I Look unto a lover eye.
I used to say a day will come
And the kid in me will grow
I used to say that come one day
I will look straight to the heart of mine.
That! So long when leaves are green
And dreamers dreams are high.
That! When birds still sings melodious
Nesting in tress abundant with fruits.
That! When water still springs in the forest
Quenching the thirst of many fortunate.
That ! when season
has not yet ended.
And years has not yet passed.
That! When dreams are oh so simple
And fairies still have their trust
But trees weaken and became older
And dreamers left their dreams uncut
Few birds are now complaining
Few now in cage are locked.
Spring has dried and forest brown.
And season changed its color fast.
When I was barely 3 feet tall
I used to illusion how future calls
now I grow and my year’s double
I beg the past to turn the table

You can submit it to AC (associated content) or Triond. Ac won't pay for short stories and poems but it could be a good source of exposure for your poem writing. Triond pays for revenues, also you can submit pictures of nature, animals, flowers and such stuffs to TRiond.
If you want your poems to be commented, I would pick AC between these two if I were you. Good luck sa 'yo (^-^)

your poem reads like a prose.. i find it rather hard to differentiate the two, but a prose is like a narrative or a story; whereas a poem is composed of seemingly incoherent lines but when you probe deeper into these lines, you'll find a correlation between the words and sentences.. this is the closest i can describe the two words.. but i may be wrong..
your article is a prose, but a nice prose..
