Let us begin...

Hello. I'm Jes and I'm a poet. After completing the 2011 National Poetry Writing Month and wanting to keep myself in the habit of writing often, I've decided to challenge myself to complete 100 poems on 100 topics. Some of these topics are people, some books, some songs, some places. Some are concrete objects, and some are abstract concepts. My intention, at the end of this project, is to self-publish a book of poetry.


So!


Let's get started! I've left comments open to anyone who wishes to leave something constructive. If I have particular requests for critique I will post them. Though not all the poem titles will be the same as the topic they are written for, I will be using the topics themselves as the official post title for each poem, to keep everything neat, and so you can look through them by topic. Enjoy!
