Poetry Index

So, before I start on that, a brief blurb on my personal history.

I don't really have much of an idyllic childhood, but then, many people don't. I dealt with it with poetry.

A lot of my poetry has violent and depressing themes. I'm not going to shoot out my school, or kill myself, or others. Please, do not take it seriously, just like people don't take my fic seriously - for me, the dark writing is a sign that I don't have problems because I have found a healthy outlet in which to release all that emotion - my writing.

Now, the poetry!

Poem	Type	Subject / Summary
War	Couplet	War, a war, any war - what you really need to know about it (a soldier's heart).

Epic Adventures in King Arthur's Bed	Spenserian Sonnet	Arthur/Merlin smut.

War

The first few lines of this poem were originally written as stanzas for a short story of mine. Later, I deleted the story, but kept the poem, and expanded it. This is the result.

Freedom

More specifically, freedom from slavery - I was vaguely thinking of the U.S. Civil War and slavery in America, and when I started the poem, it grew to be about slavery in general - and getting your freedom from it.

Do You Remember?

Originally written for a school project - dance class, to be specific. We were required to read out a poem, record it, and dance to it.
