Joan's Poetry

You have been warned. Read my poetry at your own risk. If any of it sucks, you have only yourself to blame. No one FORCED you to read it!

When I was in high school I became interested in the Shakespearean sonnet form, and I wrote five sonnets. A few years later, I wrote a fifth. If you read them in order, you get the sense that I was kind of manic-depressive: one sonnet about death follows another about how beautiful summertime is. I wasn't manic-depressive, really. I was just an adolescent.
Read my sonnets here.

And then there are:

• some other random poems I've written: the stuff I think is good (or at least okay), and the stuff I think is probably pretty bad and I should be embarrassed to post it here
• a poem about a cat, which for some reason is kept in a separate document
• a Bible poem which is in a separate document because it's footnoted. I am such a geek.
