My Journey Through Poetry

These are my feeble attempts at poetry. I am not a poet, but am trying to learn the craft. Some of these are contest entries, some are exercises from the National Writing Project, and some are just written to various prompts. As a result, there may be certain form, rhyme and other constraints.

Feel free to review as harshly as you want. I really need guidance in this area. I love to read poetry, but have trouble writing it.
