This list is for me to track my poetry historically easier. I wrote many poems that I've lost from high school or that I have but they are dreadful, so they do not make the list. I'm not going to go back and date each of my poems on here individually, since my mind likes it better to see a list like this than any other way. My goal to see these is for when I self-publish on Lulu later this year for a book I'm going to entitle Lucid Lines from an Insane Mind.
