My Poetry wiki has different poems that shows a different side of my writing. One poem in particular is "Love Poem" I have never written a poem based on the connection of two lovers in a more physical way too me this is helping me write poems on other things that are more happier and not so sad. Another thing is I play with a lot of sound tools in these poems. In my poem Ode to music it especially show it when I say " They consider a compliment/ But Incompetent/ To realize/ Originality is/ Self confidence." I am proud on how I have grown in this unit as a writer, and I will continue to do this to help me with my writing for the future.
