Hope you like it! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ymarkos3/2005573/ This poem started off as a product of a writing workshop, but after a little fixing, I believe it is good enough to be published here. Let me know what you think. :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ymarkos3/2005110/ I devoted this poem to a friend I lost in a car accident. This poem is still very rusty and some pointers to help polish it up would be greatly appreciated. :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ymarkos3/2005106/ This is a poem I wrote for a competition at my school and it was focussed on the topic tolerance. I'm debating on this one so please roast the heck out of this if needed. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ymarkos3/2005104/ This poem is about social anxiety. I understand the outcome in the poem isn't always the same for everybody, but I'm basing the poem off of my own experience. Hope you like :) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/ymarkos3/2005076/
