Poems Wot I Wrote: The 90s
Aug. 15th, 2007 07:15 pmThese are some short poems I wrote, dating from the late 90s. It's funny to go back and look at them again. It's like finding aging snapshots in some album and being unable to recall where you were and what you were doing when the pictures were taken. Maybe you have the barest idea of who some of the other people in them might be.
I think being an English major in a program that emphasized the Major English Poets (Chaucer and Shakespeare and Milton, oh my!) definitely had an effect on my writing of the time. I was lavish with adjectives, flush with formality, and hopelessly romantic. But you're only young once! And I still like these little guys.
