LIST BY TITLE

I began appreciating poetry when I was about fourteen. I remember being introduced to the stuff in english class and realizing that it was really interesting to read how words were put together, often in odd and different ways to express different kinds of ideas.

I started reading poetry somewhat seriously, and copied down the ones I liked the best into a binder. And here I am, quite a few years later and two thick binders full of poetry and access to the internet.

I've tried to organize this as best as possible, but what with real life intruding and whatnot and the sheer scale of the thing, I haven't been able to retype anywhere near the full amount of poems I have available. I have however completed the indexes so at least you (the surfer and hopefully fellow poetry buff) can see the poems I have available to me, and you could conceiveably request any that you would like to see if they are not already online.

What the above means is that seven times out of ten, you're going to try to access a poem that is not yet available. Welcome to the world of permanently under construction.

Remember, these are poems that I liked and are not necessarily chosen for their intrinsic merit. Although this collection does include poems recognized as master works, it also contains works written by students of my school and totally unknown (and would-be) poets.
