I started writing poetry
after reading "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe in 8th grade.
It was and still is my inspiration for writing. The only problem
is that I have a tendency to
write when I am feeling depressed. Thus, you will find that
many of my poems are rather depressing. My apologies.
In addition, my earlier poems have a consistent rhyme and rhythm.
I know it's trite, but that's what I was feeling. Here are a
couple of the poems I still have since I threw away most of them after
finishing them. I haven't written since I got to MIT due to
lack of time, but hopefully I'll get a chance to pick it back up soon
- Perhaps when I'm in a happier mood. :) -- Ana
