Poetry

I would not fancy myself a poet. There are many poems that I read that I don’t get. But when I read a poem that I like I keep it around and reread it whenever I have the urge to feel a shiver go down my spine.

I’ve been writing poetry since elementary school. Most of what I wrote in my teenage years were angsty and emotional. Now I write the occaisonal poem when the urge strikes.

Below is a list of poems that I love (with a minor commentary about why I love it) and a list of poems that I have written that are suitable for general consumption (the angsty teeage poems shall remain burried for all of time.)
