This one is about life and the choices we have to make. Yes, I know, hardly an original theme. Still, I wanted to tie in nature as a symbol while including more than one theme in the whole. Once more, I hate to give away the 'true meaning' inherent in the lines. I prefer the readers find their own themes. This one dwells into the inner sanctum of us all and seeks to come to an understanding. It poses many questions, more than answers it gives. It recognizes the struggle to move on from your loved past even as you see the bright horizons ahead.

What happen happens in those final hours, final moments of life? What personal dreams do we rekindle? And who takes us from this world to the next? I was musing about this when this poem was born.

This poem is just about a young brother and sister. This never really happened to me, but it made me think of how I'd feel if it DID happen to me and my brother.

This poem is about a woman, maybe a wife of an inconsiderate person, who had already suffered a lot. She had been serving her husband without fail, but still she was treated as badly as a slave. It is quite straight forward because I want people to feel and have mercy for her. It ends up with a tragedy - one which actually changes her life.

There was a time in my life when it seemed to me that death and pain ruled the world. This poem was produced from that world.

The deeper the love, the greater the loss... How would it feel to find your soulmate - only to lose her? I pray that I never find out...

These verses tell of a love that was repressed because of what other people thought. I have been in this situation before, and I wish that it had ended the way it does in the poem. Unfortunately, it did not.

This is a Poem about a willow tree that metaphorically is in love with a river. They then seem to drift apart, and in the end, the Willow dies because of its loneliness and is therefore replaced by a small village.

I wrote this poem for a 9th English project. The poems had to include examples of Alliteration, Assonance, similes, metaphors, and personification. To fit them all in without it sounding bad, I made it long. I wrote about spousal abuse. A matter that I feel very strongly about. It's a sad poem, but is also meant to bring strength.

This poem was a project that I was to do for an English class. I guess that I just got a little carried away. It is in no league with Longfellow or Frost[both of whom I find greatly inspirational and highly recommend] but my family liked it and I decided to give all a chance to read it. It was inspired by a book I was reading at the time "The Gully Dwarves" by Margert E. Wiess and Tracie Hickman.
